Nuke it from orbit or kill it with fire?

99% chance it'll be empty. Wasps don't hibernate as a colony as bees do, a few queen wasps disappear off and hibernate on their own.

A mate of mine had a few old nests in his attic, I just went up there with a bin liner and scooped them in. I'd probably give them a few exploratory pokes with a stick first just to make sure.

I want to get on and get the insulation done tomorrow so think I'll give it a few pokes and see what happens, I'll try and get a decent light up there instead of just holding my little Maglite in my mouth and get some proper pictures!

Hopefully I'm not allergic to wasps like my dad is! Don't want to be rushing to the hospital tomorrow..

It's an alien hive.

Don't fire pulse rifles in the house though as it will cause the combi-boiler to rupture and you are talking about a huge explosion and adios munchacos.

The whole place will be 40 megaton blast the size of Nebraska.

I suggest a squad of Colonial Marines or perhaps Space Rentokil.

Bit un-necessary don't you think. I don't feel that I am patronising for the most part. Considering how you talk about hurting others feelings and how we should think before we say things that others would find upsetting. To coin a phase "I wouldn't throw around that word so willy nilly as it's not very pleasant to be on the receiving end of". (more apt here than before, as you applied it to your misunderstanding of the usage of the word "ignorance", unlike being called Patronising of course which can only mean one thing)

:(


For the record I have no idea what it is, but it looks like it needs nuking from orbit.

Never nuke your own house from orbit, clearly fire is most appropriate here there's no chance anything could go wrong with fire.
 
Seeing as wasps are more useful than a not particularly small part of society, I'd have a hard time doing anyhting with that other than leaving it be.
 
If you touch that I fear you may literally open a can of woopass on yourself.

Imagine how many are in that beast.

Research shows you just need one 70 year old woman who has been in hyper-sleep for 5 decades and a strong maternal instinct!

Oh and a pulse rifle duct taped to a flamethrower.

I borrowed the gf's camera today to get some better pictures..

(Click it for the full size!)

Managed to finish most of the insulation apart from the bit at the end around the nest, was going to poke it but sort of lost the bottle and ended up leaving it be!
 
That thing looks huge, definitely newsworthy IMO. Don't worry it should be empty as many people have stated already.
