Any wasp experts?
Discussion
Ok, long story short: we have a wasp nest in a birdhouse close to our back door.
So I prepped a big bucket of water, waited until sundown and slammed some masking tape over the hole.
The wasps had eaten away the back and a good 50 of them escaped. The others are all dead, drowned un the bucket.
However the 50 are now looking menacing about 3 feet from my back door, massing on the bare fence where the birdhouse used to be.
Will they f
k off or do I have to take them on one by one?
They're angry. Very angry.

Well you probably got the Queen so they don't have a fking clue what they are meant to do now. Plus the Queens pheromones are probably still all over that area so they are hanging around waiting for a signal to move on. Which they obviously won't get. I am afraid the only thing you can do is kill the fence with fire, and hopefully the wasps at the same time.
HTH.

I'm pretty sure I got the queen. She would have been buried deep.
The bird box was the size of a shoebox with an opening the size of a 10p. Well, it was until the littles ate the back out of it.
Just looked again now and hour on. Still 15 or so hanging around on the fence. It's a shared fence so sadly can't be burned down or shot or something fun.

Just read online that tomorrow I should dust the fence in wasp killer spray stuff.
Will do that, am still a bit scared and now its full dark out there.
I also have the other few hundred drowned cadavers to deal with too, I'll probably just pour them into the neighbour's garden while they're out.

Bit dodgy, don't try this.
Still, you're dead, so you might as well....

Call them a bunch of stripey-arsed fairy-winged ponces from your back door. Close the door just as they're about to dive-bomb you. Giggle at the sound of their little skulls shattering against the glass.
Of course, if they wear crash helmets, then as previously stated you ARE dead. Sorry.
