GURNER Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Them massive hornet things that the daily star said would invade england have built a shed in my garden. Ok, they are at least wasps. Have been building an extension for a few months and set aside sods/turf to be put somewhere else as and when required. Well, that day was today. Moved a few sods then unleashed hell..............at least 6 of them went for me (guessed the rest were out doing wasp stuff). I'll leave it a bit thought i. Went back after thirty mins and tried again. me there was about 10 of them after me this time.............not sure if the original 6 were involved. An hour later I tried again, with a big stick to poke the sods/turf..............jeez did I run for my life. Need advice how to sort this like quick sharp Many thanks in anticipation of your help Caught by a feckin speed camera. try these I did and it saved me a heap o money and penalty points.

If you can't get your hands on the nest then get some "wasp rid" spray and tackle them at night even if you can't get at the nest it'll make the environment unpalatable for them and they should ###### orf.

First things first strip naked then coat your self in jam from head to toe. Then you just need a bat or a spade either will do the hornets don't care. Now simply wack the nest as hard as you can. You may think they will sting you at this point but that's were the jam comes in because your covered in jam they think your friendly. Now all you have to do is pick them off one by one at your leisure. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GURNER Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 Snuck up on em late last night, fired in a can of wilkos wasp foam, stood me ground, then calmly walked away. Just been for a peek and there is no sign of activity. The only problem now is digging into the bank of turf. What if all the foam did was akin to rolling a stone over a cave entrance? There maybe thousands of agitated blighters waiting to get me Caught by a feckin speed camera. try these I did and it saved me a heap o money and penalty points.

Bob8 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 That type of dilemma is why nature gave us a wife and children. From a theological angle, it was actually God that gave us close family members. Therefore, the Christian thing to do is to send them in to check.
