Garden teeming with wasps and hornets...

Hmmm, where's that picture of the flamethrower...

If they're after fruit or necter then remove the fruit. They'll be gone in a while

Sorry Dizzee but three nests is pitiful, in the garden I work in we have so far had 47 nests destroyed! There is a problem this year and the bush at the bottom of your garden sounds rather like a Buddleia which is attractive to all insects. To destroy that would be to deny all other insects such as butterflies which love it too. The nests will be all around the village I guess, especially in old houses. They will travel long distances to get what they want and that doesn't just mean flowers, they will also look for our food too like sweet things so perhaps getting rid of the bush will not end the problem. Short of going round all the neighbours and hunting out the nests they will still keep coming. We still have loads of wasps on our Apples despite there being no nests visible at the moment.

Bumper year for wasps apparently, we've had 8 nests destroyed in the house alone so far.

As for hornets, where there are wasps there are hornets and thank god. Scary sods, but they munch wasps, so let them be.
