Aw, crap. Somebody's selling an anery parietalis, but once again it's a bit too far away.

My home is being invaded!! We have a rather good sized wasp nest up in the attic vent.
I've been collecting quotes from the pest control people, and I was just told something that totally surprised me by one of them.

The receptionist said:
"Well, he probably wouldn't even be interested in doing the job, because it's so extensive, and he'll have to go up on the roof.....that's pretty risky...."

Can you believe it??? Of course it's a big job, and risky. Why the hell do they think we're calling the professionals?!?
I'm still shaking my head at that one!

CO2 fire extinguisher to freeze them..... or move house?

[anji1971]

No, we won't have to resort to moving out!!
I just found a guy who thinks he can do it, as long as his ladder reaches that high. And he's the cheapest quote so far too.
We'd do it ourselves it we could get up there. And if wasps didn't have stingers......

I saw a neat trick once... it involved a fake tree, a violin, a mule in a stripey suit and a lot of papier mache. Can't remember if it worked or not though.

I used the .22 shot shell once.

One time at a rather drunken barbecue, a friend of mine tried to burn out a wasp's nest in his garden using a blow-torch. He destroyed his fence, burned his arm (quite badly) and was stung numerous times. Result!

At a drunken barbecue, a friend of mine tried to determine the alcohol content of a bottle of tequila by shoving a lit sparkler into it. Burned his arm (quite badly).

I love a good drunken barbecue...... roll on the summer.

Too bad there aren't that many people here I'd want to drink with (much less barbecue).
