    If im in the wrong section apologies.

    My grandmother (89) is having her house insulated under the warmer homes scheme. When they came out to check out the house etc they found a wasps nest in the attic and won't do anything until its removed.

    Now its jan and more than likely not active can we remove it ourselves and how? Or do we need to get someone in to do it?

    Thanks

    Where in the attic is it??
    If its hanging from a rafter just go up with a black plastic bag and put it up around it , pull it down and tie the bag up.
    Then burn it :)

    No wasps this time of year so it is safe to remove. It might crumble to dust if its been there years like the eight I had in my attic. The nests are easy it is the scores of dead bodies that are a pain.

    Apparently the wasps don't return to the same nest so build a new one nearby if they can.

    The insulation team are wusses if they wouldn't do the work because of one nest!

    Yeah that has been suggested. My dad said he would do it if it wasn't active so I just thought I would check.
