    Wasp nest

    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!

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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Sprinkle Carbaryl in there (or petrol and block off). Do it at night.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    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!
    I've learnt to hide the pain inside, open the throttle and ride away.

    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...

    Actually, what sort of wasp are they? German or Asian Paper?

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
