Thanks for the comments. I'm going to make a thorough inspection when I get home tonight just to make sure there's no escape.

I think those chemicals were meant for the wasps. It would have killed them too if the allied forces hadn't deployed them in the wrong spot!

Redkop's just informed me, she has a huge wasps nest in her garage. She's too chicken to use the shock and awe tactics outlined above, any ideas?

Easy then, wait till night time and they are all sleepy. Then put a bin bag over the nest and seal it all the way around. Then cut nest from rafters and the launch the ol' shock and awe.

This is like a 1980's text adventure game

Carry engine bits out of garage. Take car out of gear, disengage handbrake, push car out of way. Then do the above.

Would full-strength Jeyes Fluid sprayed inside and over the nest kill them?
