Wasp Nest

the_monkey · 22-08-2014 7:04pm #1

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 ...

This is actually my trade. Please don't.

ScumLord · 22-08-2014 7:12pm

I don't know why people get so upset by wasps, I haven't seen anyone stung by a wasp in years.

"Wasps are bastards. Just bastards."

ronn · 22-08-2014 7:12pm

Throw a football at the nest, run like the wind, close all yr windows n doors.
Tell yr neighbours aswell

wendell borton · 22-08-2014 7:15pm

Just leave it alone, all the wasps will be dead soon anyway.

wazky · 22-08-2014 7:16pm

Silicone gun up into the hive, the only way.

diomed · 22-08-2014 7:16pm

Burn down the gazebo.

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

Bongalongherb · 22-08-2014 7:16pm

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.

Or maybe you're just creating a jam restaurant with a lakeside view.

They hate ejaculate. Ejaculate on their nest.

Jeepers imagine what they might sting!!!!!!!
OUCH!

There is special foamy stuff you can buy from a DIY shop. Wait until after dark. Cover up. Spray the entire nest in this stuff, starting at the opening. Wait for a while. Retrieve nest and throw in bin. Done.

LeinsterDub · 22-08-2014 7:30pm

Call them out to do the Ice Bucket challenge. The cold will kill em

You're a wasp

Ok. Stop the boat.

I've officially seen it all now, a mutha fcuking wasp in the Internet.

the_monkey · 22-08-2014 7:47pm

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. ..

RobbingBandit · 22-08-2014 7:49pm

Men are here, we bring fire, cook wasps good.

You'll have to pay for the flight to Barcelona though.

Well, too late for the foamy stuff. Do you own or rent?

Now you have very clean, very angry wasps.

Duff · 22-08-2014 7:53pm

Did you know that wasps can't sleep because they're so full of rage?

debabyjesus · 22-08-2014 7:56pm

Soapy water? Why didn't you just poke it with a stick like a normal person?

Banjo String · 22-08-2014 8:00pm

Wasps are really sophisticated little buggers.

Here's a detailed breakdown of their anatomy.

donegal__road · 22-08-2014 8:18pm

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.

ardle1 · 22-08-2014 8:21pm

The main thing is don't panic.....
Now get yourself a motorbike helmet a long raincoat and a baseball bat oh and tuck your jeans into your socks now stand at your kitchen door and start doing eh something like the Hacka, when you feel your ready swing open the door, run out towards the gazebo screaming and shouting like a complete psycho and swinging the bat in every direction... After about 5 min's and when you have completely destroyed the gazebo, stop and retreat to your hide-out(kitchen).. Check after about a 'day'... If they are not gone by then well fcuk knows..... Hope this helps.

Maybe it was soapy water and the penis thing :pac:

Snake · 22-08-2014 8:59pm

You poor stupid bastard... How in the hell did you think it was a good idea to throw water on a wasp nest?

Vinegar, sugar, soapy water, penis!

are we still talking about wasps?

Its Only Ray Parlour · 22-08-2014 9:14pm

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.

Duff · 22-08-2014 9:15pm

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

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.

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.

ScumLord · 22-08-2014 9:38pm

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.

Kamik · 22-08-2014 9:51pm

Yes, wasps are rather partial to Gazebos

the_monkey · 23-08-2014 8:43pm

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 ...

Hardware has some wasp killer spray. Wait till sundown and spray the muthas. Boxed off

buried · 23-08-2014 9:36pm

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?
