    I would avoid the wasp hive during the day because they're very aggressive towards the end of the Summer, though, it's been unseasonably cold lately, if it keeps getting colder at nighttime, the frost will kill them off.

    I'm absolutely appalled that after this many replies no one has said "Blast it with píss". For shame, AH, for shame.

    I've never been stung in my life. I don't get why folks are afraid of them, they're just wasps. If you wave your hands around in an aggressive manner it is possible they will sting you. Just go over to the hive and sit beside it for 20 minutes and they will fly around you for a few minutes to see are you a threat, then they will just fly off back, no stings, nothing...enjoy.

    Guaranteed to work every time...

    1. buy a water gun.
    2. fill it with petrol.
    3. squirt offending flying objects.
    4. throw lit match onto nest.
    Call fire brigade and let them throw water on them while you watch from the comfort of your home.

    Hi,
    We have a wasp nest (yellow jackets) under a gazebo in the garden,

    Colourful suggestions on how to remove ?

    I was thinking of smoking the b*stards out .. but am afraid I'll set fire to the gazebo

    Someone said soapy water is good, it drowns them and the soap coats the wings so they can't fly ...

    Don't do the soapy water thing. They will just buzz around everywhere and a load of them will gather under the window...the buzzing will be deafening.

    Doing anything to block a wasps nest will just have them making a new entrance, typically through the inside of the house.

    I would assume wasps work along the same lines as bees, which means they can communicate danger, where it is, how to get to it and how much to sting it when they all get there.

    Wear a yellow and black jumper and hop around the garden , after a while the wasps will see you .Lead them out the gate and lock the gate after them.
    Make sure someone records you .

    A gazebo ? Well la di dah.


  • Registered Users Posts: 106 ✭✭Kamik


    Yes, wasps are rather partial to Gazebos :)

    It seems the wasps have won ... the nest is buzzing away with plenty of activity today .

    I think I'll just leave it, they'll be dead from the cold in a month or 2 anyway ...

    All my neighbours are complaining about wasps and I haven't even seen one. I let my back garden go completely wild (or to $hit, whichever you prefer) during the summer, the lawn is a three foot high jungle of crazy insects and the hedge's are full of hawthorns, weeds, all that stuff, I've loads more birds, bees and butterflies though, could they be keeping the wasps away?

    Right time for some serious advice. OP get a plastic bag and at dark swoop the nest into the bag and tie it off quickly. Then throw it in the brown bin so the bin men get a surprise!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,848 ✭✭✭Andy-Pandy


    I was clearing out the back of garden last week and stood on a compost heap that contained a wasp nest, I got stung twice, twas not nice.


  • Registered Users Posts: 837 ✭✭✭stephenmarr


    OP where are you based?
    Im a PestController.
    Ive all the equipment to get rid of the nest professionally.
    Pm if interested.

    Empty jamjars half filled with water, they are attracted to jam and when the land in the water they cant take off again.

    if they are attracted to jam, what good is an empty jam jar half filled with water? do you think they can read the label? Ohhh wait, maybe it's homeopathetic ..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,361 ✭✭✭Boskowski


    Leave them be. If you only discovered it now chances are they're not really bothering you.

    I discovered one a couple of years just out the back. I did a bit of (internet) research and decided to leave them alone, in return they left us alone. Unlike bees they abandon the nest at the end of the year and don't come back next year. You can take the empty nest down in the winter. A lot less hassle especially for the wasps. You're grand.

    Oh yes I'm obviously one of them do-goody tree huggers etc bladibla. I don't care it works for me.

    update ....


    disaster , I tried the soapy water, now they are buzzing around everywhere and a section under a window is black with them, the sounds of buzzing is deafening ....

    I just hope in the morning it looks better. ..
    Plastic 2 litre bottle, cut in half and stick top end upside down into bottom half.

    Fill with 2 inches of vinegar, water and sugar.

    Thats all you need to do.

    Didnt you read that previous post, by the time he does that he'll be stung to death :pac:
    I think its too late anyway, they know what his game plan is now, they were prepared to live in peace, should have gone in for a complete strike or nothing at all.
    OP pack your bags and move out, its a dead loss.

    Lethal advice, lets hope no one does this :eek:

    Look it seems there's no easy way, and some of the methods sound pretty scary and kinda stingy hurty.
    I think your best bet would be to get a kilo no make it 5 kilos of semtex and just blow the whole fcukin street up. Thank You, hope this helps!
    p.s: you can buy semtex here>> http://www.securesearchinc.com/category/bulk-plastic-explosives-inert-simulants-for-c4-pe4-semtex-dm12/
