Eeee stingies!

I discovered the nest of the wasps in our backyard.

Now I have to figure how to get rid of it.

I hate stingy insects. There was a bee hanging around the damp washing too.

spray it with wasp/hornet spray, and run like mad!

Eeeee! Nooo. I might get stung.

I don't think I've ever seen wasp/hornet spray available in Australia. I think they recommend calling a pest controller. I wonder if that's the tenants or landlords responsibility...

how...interesting! LOL.

They sell spray at our local hardware stores

For a start, one needs to use their brain and spray at night time - when their metabolism is sluggish and they're actually *all* back in the nest. The best thing to use is surface spray, which is both strong, and prevents them from going back to the same location.

That's for paper wasps, which are the more common ones. Otherwise... you might to spray and run, even at night-time. Or you know... calling a professional.

Me and Mum just use the spray. :)
