The council are now charging £45 to kill them off, on the other hand, Aldo are selling a wasp nest killer for £2.45. You can spray it from 10 foot away, going to try this later, once they have gone in the nest for the night. It hasn't been bothering us to be honest, but now the numbers have dramatically increased and we can hear them in the nest at night. Time to try and get rid.

I had some Wasps last year, I did not mind them there but they started stinging me when I went out to the bin, so one of us had to go. I used powder, then boarded up the entrance to the nest.

you can buy the stuff on ebay that the council use. Just buy a mask and dont inhale it!!

If you put it near the entrace/ where they go in, as the wasp passes through it takes the powder on its body thus gets deeper in. They will all perish within 24hrs. We had a HUGE nest last year. Bought it on ebay arrived next day. When we got the windows replaced the fitters showed me it , size of 2 footballs !!

They get very angry so dont look at them dying too much they will chase you!!

UPDATE:

The 'wasps' have burrowed holes into my daughter's bedroom and we had some inside when we got home from a short break today. Also the noise of them doing whatever they do was getting really loud. I called the council and they said the soonest they can get out to us is middle of August, I did explain I have a young daughter and they are getting in, but they said they had made cuts to pest control and had no staff. Very sad.

I called a company from Yellow pages, at 4.55pm and they were here 10 mins later and completed got rid, and we are a good few floors up I couldn't manage it myself with the spray/powder. They guarantee it also and all for a £5 more than the council.

PM me if anyone wants their number, well worth it, and advised me about the holes that they had burrowed. Wish I had called them weeks ago. The final bonus was the landlord just knocked it off next months rent so really pleased.

Great topic as were having problems with nest's recently,and today I got stung on the bottom of my foot:(thanks for information:)

That would be a recommendation

Sorry is that not allowed?

Recommendations ARE allowed, so you can give out details of this company.

If you worked for them or it was your company then this is advertising, and is not allowed

Thanks, just didn't want to get into any trouble but I would have really been appreciative of their information had I known about them. I was a bit scared to ring a private contractor at first, and it put me off dealing with it.

They are called Prokill, based in Bromborough www.prokill.co.uk

I called the mobile number and the boss answered, he sent a fella round who had just finished for the day, but he came round was really lovely and did a great job, I can't thank them enough. And at only a fiver more than the council, I don't know why anyone would wait for weeks. These blokes came round 5-10 mins after I called. Can't recommend them enough.

Just noticed from their website that they are a national company, and that although I got the information from a search engine it did throw up a mobile number for them.
