We had new double glazing fitted throughout a while back and the ballbag (long story) who fitted it managed to leave a large hole underneath the door sill which we spotted some wasps going in about a week or so ago, my wifes brother came down and said he'd sorted it out, apparently he'd plugged the hole with bathroom sealant "to stop them getting in", I wondered about the plight of the wasps already in the nest that could get out but this morning I wondered no more, the front windowsill is littered with dead/dying wasps where they've managed to find another hole to get into the house. I phoned the council, they don't have anything to do with pest control anymore and the 3 people I found in the yellow pages, 2 are the same bloke who I can't get hold of and the others too busy.

Unfortunately I'm "hypersensitized" to wasp stings and my wife being a couple of months pregnant isn't pleased about coming home to a house infested with wasps so any sensible suggestions (not involving fire or ovaries) would be great. I'm thinking of getting the sealant scraped out as I'd rather have them outside than in and just waiting for the autumn when they die/move elsewhere (I read that wasps never return to the same nest the following year).
 
Be a man, have a spine, wrap up yourself from head to toe. Go and examine the nest and destroy everything with an electronic shock swat or something. :)

They say you should never pester the wasp nest if its in your house as they move the nest further in. I guess you have shown this. Erm, maybe call out a private pest removal service?

Or failing that, nuke it with fire? :confused:
 
There have been about 3 threads on how to get rid of wasps nests, I'm not posting the guide to killing them again :p

Do a search.

Jesus christ. I've got a pointer for you. No matter what you do while I'm around you'll never be alpha. Drop the act and respond in a decent way :)

Cuchulain, did the council give you any pointers about who to approach?

Be a man, have a spine, get stung, die ... did you miss the part where I asked for sensible suggestions?

Get some wasp powder

I can get that from homebase or something right? Does it need to go in the hole? i.e. if I unblock the hole this idiot sealed up can I just give it a squirt up there, the nest is probably going to be fairly inaccessable without removing a few bricks.

That was sensible imo. Did you missed the bit where i mentioned you should wrap up well?

He asked for sensible suggestions. My understanding of someone who is hypersensitive to wasp stings is that they're potentially fatal. Yes, you did say something wrong :)
