Do Council charge for removing wasps' nest?

[scousemouse]

..............removal of a wasps nest? If they do, I will have to sort it, but with what? I have been stung twice this week ouch!

You can get wasp nest killing powder from hardware stores. Puff it into the entrance of the nest and usually 12 hours later they are dead. Cover yourself up well though and do it late evening early morning.

Deodorant and a lighter?

 

 

 

 

....maybe not

Yes they do, nothing is free from them anymore.

If you can see the nest opening, you can probably deal with it yourself with wasp killing foam.

 

Do you really need to destroy them though? They do a lot of good.

The nest is in the shed, the place where I keep the garden stuff. Having been stung twice this week, I can't wait to get rid of the little beggars! Thanks for the replies though.

Buy a can of wasp destroying foam. Get a coat on and put the hood up. Wear gloves. Spray foam over the opening to the nest and clear off sharpish. As the wasps go into the nest, they take the foam in and it kills them.

 

The wasps will get slightly upset when you spray:D

As above, especially if you can see entry/exit hole for the nest but best to wait until early or late day so to avoid getting stung or contact alcoblog

I got some powder from b&q today for £2.98 and foam was about a fiver. Put the powder in the hole where the wasps were entering this morning. Just have to see what happens. If it works it's cheaper than the man we paid last time. Think that cost about £100.

I am utterly confused as to why the council would remove wasp nests for free or even at all?
