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!

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 ..

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.

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.

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 put you out while your family watch you watch and your home burn from the comfort of your home new home in the shed.

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

i have had 4 wasps nest in attic of house last one was 3 weeks ago when getting roof tiles replaced,bloody nest as big as a footy,i use this but need to order from uk as cant find irl supplier.

Sorex Wasp Nest Destroyer =awesome power spray in very late evening.
strangely enough local hardware store swears ant powder thrown on nest in late evening will kill the nest in a few hrs if you can get at it.
first time i got stung 3 times.

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/

Just leave the nest alone or get a professional to do it. You're going to end up getting stung by a nest of pissed off wasps. They'll go away in a few weeks and you'll never see them again. Just get rid of the nest when you're gone, so no new wasps come back

Any chance of that happening to politicians?:rolleyes:

Ive gotten rid of wasps and left others alone, it depends on if they got me mad or not.
Ok it didnt depend on them getting me mad, but I was able to have them all around me when working, at a closer look I could see they were devouring tiny little aphids, so they do serve a purpose and didnt give an absolute stuff about me, I was moving stuff about, swinging hammers (at nails), they never bothered me, so I have to guess they can detect/interpret hostility/fear? and waving your arms about, maybe making loud noises/large movements? and if you squash them I believe they give off pheromones that may set off a further defence/attack response? open to confirmation. I tried not to squash any of their brethren, not sure if I succeeded, but they were busy so might not have noticed, I was also busy and didnt notice myself.

In another instance, I found some in an attic, big nest, they were pretty aggressive, probably being so near to the nest. Had to retreat a few times, got a can of wasp spray from b&q (€1.50), put on some thicker layers (jeans and fleece) and over that a cheap papery painting boiler suit (not a heavy boiler suit). Taped the joins over gloves, boots and around the neck where I had a mosquito net over my head, they were pissed off.
Got as close as I dared, sprayed the can from maybe ten feet at the nest, few days it had dissolved, wasps gone.
Hot work in an attic. Cost, about €1.50.

Yup. The pheromone alerts the nearby hive that one of the wasps has died, so they'll go to investigate. If you're in that area they'll smell it off you, and then you're in trouble.
