Would I be able to attack this wasp nest from my attic?

Can I get at the space underneath the soffits from the attic?

Or you could leave it for this year.

Apparently wasps not renest in the same place so they will be gone by next year.

I don't want to leave the nest as it is right outside my bosy bedroom window and I don't want their room full of wasps.

I will try the wasp killer powder tonight!

Hello rca779

I've merged your thread with an existing 'wasps nest' thread, if you read back from post #1 you'll find some useful information.

I remember some years ago knocking down a wasps nest in a shed at my summer cottage. I did it with a very long piece of wood having an open door close at hand to make a fast escape. After knocking it down I ran into the house and slammed the door shut. I certainly wasn't going to hang around!!
Later that day I went back to the downed nest. It was complete deserted. Our waspy friends had decided to move. Thank God.

Many thanks roddydogs :T , I did exactly as you said, bought some powder, sprayed it all around the crack the wasps were getting in and hey presto after just one application the wasps were gone :j

I have since filled the cracks so that they can't get in there any longer :T .

I, or rather my 8-year old son has discovered a wasp nest in his playhouse roof!
I daren't go near it - peering in from one of the windows it looks like a ball/mass of 'something' stuck to the inside roof of the playhouse.
What should I do? I feel like getting a long stick and whacking it down, but I won't make it back up the garden path to the house before I'm caught.

Just been up the loft and found a big one with wasps crawling all over it about the size of a football, came down and searched it on here and my daughter then said there is 2 in the playhouse:eek: . Went out and they were the size of ping pong balls...whacked them down ran like the clappers then came back, nowt in it and chucked them over the fence...I think I will leave the one in the loft??? Not sure, my heart rate is slightly faster than usual...but I would try the whack and run idea wear somethings big like a hooded dressing gown or something and long trousers with elastic bands on the bottom of the legs??? oh man I feel sick!!!:rotfl:
