Last Sunday evening I was topping the grass in a meadow that we, my family
and I, use to walk our dogs. In the process I disturbed a wasp nest and
was
stung on the head. I decided that enough was enough for that day. 15
minutes
to get back, put tractor/topper away, and walk home. By this time, my wife
says, I was doing a good impression of the Elephant Man.
This evening I found the wasp nest. About 5M to the E is a watercourse and
about 5M to the W is a public right of way. The wasp nest is on my land
and
I would like to be rid of the wasps and their nest.
What do I do, and what do I do if a member of the public is stung and
makes
a complaint ? I could perhaps put a sign up telling the public of the
imminent danger of being stung, but I don't think that would help. Perhaps
put a sign up to tell the wasps, that might work just as well! Telephone
the
council to advise them of the problem and ask their advice- If it is on
your
land, you are liable.......etc.......etc. Wait a while until the wasps
either die off or move to another colony; I dont have any great problem
with
that but my family, the roaming public and our dogs may have some
objection,
so this option does present me with a problem.
What to do? Any sensible advice would be gratefully received.
FWIW, Piriton has helped me a great deal, both the swelling and pain are
much reduced.
If this message is off topic for URG, please accept my sincere apologies.
Good luck and best wishes.
