Saw a wasp crawl inside my brickwork....

StevieP · 14 May 2014 at 16:29

Popped home at lunch and whilst in the back garden I witnessed a wasp land on my house wall and then proceed to crawl inside the brickwork through one of those plastic vent thingy's in between the bricks!?!? (I believe they are to ventilate the cavity??)

Question is, is this likely to mean there is an army of the bleeders in there and if this is the case, how can I get rid!?!?

Thanks...

note: kill it with fire probably isn't an ideal suggestion.....

Smear a bit of mustard around the brickwork as this will put them off. It has to be English Mustard as these may be french wasps.

Get a pest control company to smoke them out.

You're going to need an exterminator.

You have to kill the queen. Apparenty the dad of an OcUK forum member can help with this...

You definitely have a queen wasp in there. I know, my dad kills them for a living.

Poo through your air brick and own letterbox. Rub mustard on your own poo and show it to the neighbors, tell them the voices told you to .

Extermination, either you or them....

Ideal or not, it remains a valid suggestion imo.

Pour petrol all over your ground floor, stand approx 1m from your front door and throw a match inside - stand from a safe distance and watch them wasps burn!!!

Release a false widow into the vent so they are forced to battle to death

I say, take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Send in hornets, they'll clear the wasps out no problem. Not sure how you'd remove the hornets, but that's a problem for another day.

Move.

Flood the wall with petrol, then burn. Burn! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!
