Hi all. I have posted this on the 'in my home' board, but as the elite thread is full of such knowledgeable people, I hope you don't mind me reposting here (I do realise it is likely to get lost in the pizza glitch!)

If anyone can give their expertise on the following, I would be most grateful ....

We have noticed wasps going in and out of the fascia boards of our house. The wasps are going in at two separate points, about a metre apart.

1. Does this mean that there are 2 nests, or just one nest that they are accessing at different points?

2. Also, when it comes to treating it, would we need to treat both access points? OH can reach one of them (with a ladder), but not the other.

3. Finally, as the access point is under the fascia board, and can't be seen from inside the attic, is there any advice on how to apply the powder to the access point? Even after shaking the container, hardly any powder comes out when it is pointing upwards!

As always, thanks for any advice and tips

probably one nest over 3 feet wide :eek:
dont want to alarm you :rotfl:

seriously though, i got a spray from aldi, which would squirt about 6-8 feet. it sort of melted the nest and they all flew else where. i went into the attic in the evening when they are less active

My thoughts exactly! Which is why I'm still sitting downstairs with the laptop instead of being tucked up in bed right underneath the one metre nest :eek::eek:
I can't even sleep downstairs, as I came downstairs when I couldn't sleep one night about 4 years ago, and saw a spider in the middle of the night - have been scared to fall asleep downstairs ever since :o

Dont worry, the spiders will eat the wasps before they get to you............just make sure your toes are well tucked in
