Landlord's obligation to remove wasps nest?

Maybe the farmer is like some I know and has a 'remedy' at the back of the barn.


What was it they used to use? Arsenic?

Hmm, I suppose forcing a wasp to sit on a razor blade would rob it of its sting... Just how did they do that?

Its one of those things that's obvious to those who have come across wasps in large numbers before but not to those that haven't. You are too busy protecting the pup lol.

But hopefully it will be sortable now.

Obviously the best solution would be for them to agree to remove it, they are nice people and I'm not anticipating outright rejection, but what I am anticipating is them just brushing it off and never getting around to it, hoping that they can fob us off until winter kills them off. They are typical laid-back southerners and tend to take ages to do anything, and this is an emergency as far as my family are concerned.

Lost all sympathy right there.

Awesome, I hope that having such an arbitrary thought process works out for you.

I am Cornish which is about as southern as you can get, it was an acknowledgement of a culture that I'm intimately familiar with and not some sort of attack, but I suppose that's irrelevant to the nit-picking brigade.

Huh? Surely, the closer you get to London, the more frantic people tend to be, if we are to generalise thus. Everybody be cool, it's just a normal day except I have to cook two different kinds of chicken tonight so please, some perspective, innit?

Yes, you seem to be agreeing with my statement, the closer you get to London the more frantic people get - I used to work there 2 days a week and remember it well. Down in Cornwall and Devon it is comparatively very laid back, people will not rush around just because you click your fingers at them.

That's at least 65 more days of being trapped in our house, the puppy needs the toilet around 8 times per day during daylight hours, that's 520 more occasions where we have to risk harm to ourselves and our dog. I've been stung at least 5 times per week, sometimes more, and I'm reluctant to put up with this a second longer than we have to. It was different when we thought it was just the heat, but now we know it's a totally fixable problem.

so you have assessed it is a serious problem for you, you know how to cure it, by getting in a pest control person, but instead you spend time wailing that it is someone else's responsibility to solve for you. Just do it yourself and act like the leader of your family since you say it is a family emergency.

Is this chicken thing some kind of code?

Yes; it is code for making two different kinds of chicken casserole at the same time but not in the same receptacle. It required more brain power than usual ergo none was left to worry about someone else's wasps, like what I thought had been done to death (in more ways than one) already, innit?
