Underground Wasps

[dorothymeta]

I disturbed a wasps nest whilst forking out some weeds in flower bed. 5 flying wasps have made another entrance but is it safe to keep it or should I destroy it and how? Don't particularly want it there except to be environmentally friendly.

There are lots of videos on youtube that you can watch to get a good idea of what to do and what not to do!

I know this sounds crazy but Ive proved it works.

Get a brown paper bag (takeway with handle bags are best). Stuff the bag with scrunched newspaper, tie the top & hang near wasp nest. Resident wasps will scarper as they think another swarm has nested/arrived.

Thanks for quick replies. Afraid I don't do Youtube and as nest is underground where would they scarper to?

[tamborine]

who cares where they go, so long as theyre gone. OR you could puff Ant Powder over the nest (at night).

Have you ever looked at anything on youtube?

All the videos recommend doing it at night.
