we had two seperate nests down the end of our garden last year and i disturbed one on our flowerbed a few weeks ago. couldnt put hot water down due to plants there! :mad:
i think this year they more likely to find something sweet unless i follow ds around with wipes and a dustpan and brush
:rotfl:
they are a PITA :mad::o"I have learnt that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one""You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”Maya Angelou0 -

That's a surprise! Google boric acid and you'll find you can buy it all over the place.If I'm over the hill, where was the top?0 -
WD40 kills the little b*ggers and if you then spray it along your doorsteps it keeps them away for ages and ages.0
