That’s nothing; while the wasp’s nest I found in an old auction purchase’s loft was long abandoned, the real challenge was…youth_leader said:I remember my husband sliding straight down the loft ladder because of a giant wasp's nest. Do take care!

I may be missing something here but if there is no obvious signs of sealing, could it just be they don't know how to open it? Our loft hatch is different to ones I'd seen before and there's a knack to sliding it to get it to open.0
