    Lazy Pest Controller?

    I have to laugh at the knee jerk reaction that people have displayed here, without knowing the full facts. Could it have been that bees were present originaly and the colony died off, wasps made a nest and were treated and then bees reinhabited??? Or is that too much a stretch of the...

    Wasps - time to go!

    How many wasps can you see on the outside of the nest??? Looks pretty clean to me. Its an old nest from a previous year, and not that large when you compare it to the bricks behind it. Ive done sofa size nests and they are BIG. Just a publicity stunt to boost business.

    Wasps - time to go!

    The southampton one was a load of crap. Publicity stunt by the pest controller. Apparently he rekoned there was half a million wasps in it, LMFAO

    Vac Attack???????????

    It would be far easier to use an insecticide, far quicker if you want to kill the bees. ;)

    People wanting free honey

    Do wasps buzz?

    WASPS!!!! The popping or ticking noise is the young wasps in the nest. The buzzing noise is wasps fanning the nest to cool it down.

    Swarm Collectors Map

    The list is still growing, day by day more and more people join, so hopefully more people will cover these areas. It takes you 3 hours to get from one end of Powys to the other? I suggest you get yourself into the 21st century and buy yourself an automobile. :D

    Swarm Collectors Map

    I disagree. People phone me, "i have a large swarm of wasps hanging from my tree, when can you get here" They never ask me where i live, they just want to know a time that i can be there to rid them of the pesky swarm of wasps.

    Stings on gloves

    I couldnt agree more, from some of the comments on this forum, i believe that there are a fair few beekeepers out there that dont know how dangerous a colony "can" be.

    Swarm Collectors Map

    I dunno! Surely its easier to land on a page, click your county and be presented with a selection of people within that county that collect bees? Or maybe i am over complicating things :D I collect swarms all over north hampshire, so why should a swarm owner have to select their nearest swarm...

    Who wants a swarm???

Second night on the trot now, the last three swarms this week have been...

    High level of wasp activity . . .

    Hi Trapperman, not long got home... So far this season is going very well. I hope it lasts. Lots of multiple nests about and i have some cracking hd footage of twin nests which are only inches apart. Just picked up a chuffin gurt bee swarm too. So now need to find an owner :D

    High level of wasp activity . . .

    Find the nest and kill it!!! Its always assumed (wrongly) that wasps wont nest near to each other, so many folk think there will only be one nest in the area. I killed 11 nests on one house the other day and there was definatley more nests there. I am waiting for the call to return :D

    Swarm Collectors Map

I didnt shout or even remark when a link to my bee swarm page was linked then the link removed. All i am saying is lets have some consistencey here. Either you link to...

    Swarm Collectors Map

    Hi Steve, we spoke the other day on the phone, but i had to go and answer the other phone. Did you manage to sort the few small issues with the map? My concern about the map idea, although fairly straightfoward to use, is: how are you going to get traffic to it via google? All very well...
