I say Toby, whats the best technique for getting rid of wasps nests ? I have a small nuc in the garden, settled here as a free "bee" but the stripey boys have taken over another nuc, left lurking next to the workshop, lesson learnt.

My neighbour asked me if I could remove a wasps nest for him, he was quoted £65 to get rid of, easy to get to done in less than 15mins (knocked into box when nearly dark) and he gladly gave me the £65 even when I said it was in my interest to get rid of the waspes as the nest was less than a 100ft away from my hives
Wish I had a 140 to get rid of at £65 thats £9100 now that would be worth doing even if it's part time

Rat Glue!

Rat Glue!

Rat glue is incredibly cruel and indiscriminate as it doesn't just catch wasps but many other small animals. There are far more effective ways of getting rid of wasps.

Depends where it is put - not had any problems with other animals or birds myself

If theres a nest in a nuc ant powder in entrance wil sort wasps out/ you can stand and watch wich way there going and follow them to nest they allways go in a straight line back 2 nest

How to find a wasp's nest?

Apparently you sift icing sugar onto them then follow which way they go as they show up white.
