Wasp nest

[firefighter]

Ok Iv'e got this problem with a freakin wasp nest, now if it was on the fence or something this would be easier, but its inside my washing line, the pole in the middle, the little cunts have got a nest IN there up the top, so i'm finding it difficult to throw the petrol on it without swarms of them looking really pissed and starting attack mode, anyone got any ideas or know a better way i'm all ears!

[daaatomic]

put the petrol in a coke bottle, then jam it in the top.

[DarkLord]

Nasty little buggers ay?

I think petrol would no doubt be a good way to go and I don't know if you can do much about them swarming but perhaps the best thing would be to climb up there on a stepladder or something to chuck the petrol in, while wearing as much thick and heavy clothing as possible and make sure you keep EVERY bit of skin covered so that even if they do swarm, they can't get to you.

Just a thought.

[Disco Dan]

go in from behind... drill a hole at the bottom of the pole and skirt the petrol in from there.

Coke bottle in the top is a great idea though!

[westie]

Ask them nicely to leave.

If not

I agree with the petrol and coke bottle in the top. But make sure you have a fuse to light so it all goes bang and there's a big fire ball.
Or try just blocking it all up with putty or shit like that.

Call your Regional Council's biosecurity team. They will send somebody qualified around to remedy the situation.

[Disco Dan]

Insert fire hose in top.. full pressure... :devil2:

[ManDownUnder]

Wasp bait in a little basket, hang it on the clothes line and wait a week... dead waspies left and right...!

[MSTRS]

Sprinkle Carbaryl in there (or petrol and block off). Do it at night.

[fireball]

wasps and petrol and fire

I AM SO THERE!

if you like and have a ladder i wouldnt mind tipping petrol down there lighting it and watching them burn!

but really use a hose put the end of it down the hole turn it on... wasps hate water then use the fireball method!

Use a weed sprayer bottle with petrol in it.....


spray from afar....

spray a trail down to the ground so you can light it from afar....

Turn on camera.

Light petrol...

Sprinkle Carbaryl

What he said

Two spoonfuls in the entrance will do the trick

the second one, really feisty little bastards. was thinking about bringing the truck home tommorw and wasting them with the hose reel.

[BiK3RChiK]

Nasty, Nasty!! Wait till evening, then waste the little f*ckers. Petrol will do the trick.

No, just the aforementioned Carbaryl or Petrol method. And yes, they are very feisty, so do it at night, use little or no light, and wear your leathers, etc.
The other method that works well with these little buggers is Oven cleaner in the aerosol can. It is full of caustic and you don't need to get too close.

[Daffyd]

If you use petrol, don't light it! The blast will blow some clear and they will be very pissed off!
Leave it unlit and the raw fumes will kill them.

[Krayy]

Coke bottle in the top is a great idea though!

Washing line pipe bomb!!!!!!

Make sure to video it will you?

[avgas]

Duct tape the top of the pole

[gtr boy]

fly spray and a lighter,wicked flame thrower,they cant get you with out wings:pinch:

Wasps sleep?:pinch:

Wasps sleep?:pinch:

I don't know if they sleep, but their metabolism certainly slows down as the evening cools down, hence it is a good time to kill the little nasties!

[Nagash]

Oh my god.. that sounds like so much fun..

I want a wasps nest!

Definately go with the fire method, who cares if it's more or less effective. It's fire! Water pistol filled with petrol, strap a zippo to the end of it. that'd be fun.. Till the water gun catches on fire then all the petrol ignite's ad you're running around screaming "Argh! My hands on fire! What are the chances of this possibly happening?!"

Still.. it'd make a good story..

Water pistol with a zippo, rofl niceeeeeeee

a firework thrown in for shits and giggles could be fun too.... / bottle of petrol with a wick LOL

[eliot-ness]

Wait till just before dark then go along and give them a blast of fly spray, any sort will do. they'll be dead in a couple of minutes.

Crawled into a roof today and to my left was a great "big" wasp nest.
You can come get it if you want.

[Winter]

Easy.

Step one.

Install quality video camera ontripod in corner of yard. Set to RECORD.

Step 2.

Try each method as mentioned in the above posts - starting with the most pyromaniac methods first, finishing with a big blast of cold water.

Step 3.

Youtube!

[Mikkel]

How about leaving the poor critter alone? Killing is evil! :cry:



Now that greenpeace has been appeased...

If the little bastards can't get out except through the top I think the idea of blocking the top is a good idea. However, block it with something with a tap in it. Then it's an easy matter to introduce petrol, pesticide or whatever you feel like killing them with once they have been contained.

[firefighter]

Cheers for the advice, the nest was half in and half poking out through the top of the pole, so no chance of taping it up, and these asian wasps are real nasty, if you go near the nest they start flying at you, so no chance of taping it up or whatever without getting maimed, I just filled an old jam jar up with good old 91', ran at it and lobbed/poured it at the nest, and ran like a little girl! came back an hour later a little more prepared.......(jeans, jumper, flashood, helmet visor down with filled up jar, rolled up paper and lighter) -to my neighbours amusement.....and there wasn't a sign of them, so well I did what any other idiot would do that's decided to go through that much effort, I casually tippytoed up, poured the whole jar down into the nest, lit the rolled up piece of paper and lit the dribbles down the pole, watched the fuel burn away and am now sitting here with a beer, all in a days work!

[scumdog]

Sprinkle Carbaryl in there (or petrol and block off). Do it at night.

Wot 'e sed.

It works a charm - not potentially as spectacular as petrol but works better - and the wasps that survive all bugger off.

Just sprinkle it around the wasp-nest entry area and leave it - as said, at night is best, ya don't get stung.

[P38]

Wasp bait in a little basket, hang it on the clothes line and wait a week... dead waspies left and right...!

What he said.

Your wasting your time with petrol.

Yates make a good powder too.

Sprinkle it at the entrance and three days later no a wasp to be seen.

Ah piss...

I was about to suggest I bring some sacred Double Happies (ALL HAIL!) up and have a play!

[Toaster]

Petrol or pyrethrum.... I get lots of nests in the country... both work a treat. Immediate death to the little bastards.

You still got double-happies??? That was like, almost 20 years ago~!

Couple of strings, and some dodgy Tom Thumbs!

Still need to find my bulging bag of sky rockets though...

[BIGBOSSMAN]

Wait till nighttime, boil a full kettle of water and pour it over the little bleeders.
OR, create a new type of parasitic mite in your lab that will eliminate the pest species. Biological control, the only true stopper.

Way back in the 1950's wasps were a real menace. Each year when we went to our holiday home by the Waitangi river the first chore was to get rid of the local nests. We found that wasps are like bees and after taking up food would make a 'bee line' for home. We would set three lots of food, fish was best, and sight along the lines of flight.
Where they intersected was the nest entrance.
Often in the bush the entrance to the nest was very hard to locate. You would have to look until you saw what appeared to be a haze, that would be the thousands of wasps coming and going. Having found the nests we would wait till dark and then shove a hose into the opening and go up hill. Petrol was then poured in (only 2/6 a gallon then) through a funnel. The guard wasps would come out but could not see. You would hear a buzz and it would stop when the wasp banged into somthing. When they got too close we took off. Killed off dozens of nests that way. We see only a fraction of the wasps that used to swarm about then they were a real menace.

Cheers for that, now at least we know wasps run on 91.....:banana::2thumbsup
