If you're thinking of taking care of it yourself make sure you have an escape route planned and the kids are inside. Nothing worse than trying to get down a ladder quickly with ****ed off wasps all around your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you wait until they are all tucked up in the nest for the night. The foam is accurate from about 18 inches away, so no need to get too close. Just make sure you give it the maximum possible burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therapist Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 out of interest, did you take any other precautions when you sprayed the nest. Do the wasps fight back? If you get them when they're resting in the nest, the foam is already in there and working by the time they wake up and realise what's happening. The odd hard wasp will get out, but they're too confused to get nasty. I did one spray at around 10 in the evening and did another one at 5 the next morning before they were up and about.

maroonlegions Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Operation D.A.D (death and destruction) a success , total wipe out of the wee feckers IS complete. From memory here is my account of the battle; 1. Wife gives me a loving look as i open the hatch to the loft, bring down the stepps , secure them and begin my assent to the loft.(light not working) 2. Reach top of steps and switch on torch:eek:, (nae fecking light bulb in the socket), heart racing now but decide to press on. 3.Make my way to the enemy's camp sight (nest), nothing stirring:dribble:, steady my self and recheck my retreat path:eek:. 4.Take weapon and aim , FIREeeeeee, its spraying the nest big time, after a couple of mins , stop and get ready to bolt:eek:, but still nothing, so continue to fire the spray right up their sun don't shines. 4.Give it another couple of mins and bingo . something stirred , yes ,now falling out of the camp were several wee feckers , has it worked , raced through my head, should i just bolt just in case, then i noticed they were fecked, just landing on the floor and playing dead, VICTORY is mine i thought , rejoice , YESSS. 5.i gave it a wee finale blast from my weapon of mass destruction:dribble:and retreated back down the steps, shut the latch door and made my way straight to the fridge to open a celebratory can of bud. 6. Wife gives me a "your my hero hug" and special look,AFTER I RECALL HOW THE BATTLE WAS ONE, which usually means dinnae fall asleep in bed too soon. I have kept some spray for tomorrow to give it one more going over but that boys is how the battle of 23-07-08 was one, SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE.
