Tonight I've had to get rid of my 2nd nest of the year, this was/is in
the
corner of the packing /machinery shed, and the entrance to the nest is
only
about 4ft from the path to the cloths line and 10ft from the line
itself, so
it has to go.
Had to use step ladder to get to its height, but dusted it tonight after
dark, when there is no activity.
It's strange, I haven't had to remove any nests for the last 2 years,
and 2
already this year.

There was something in one of the papers today about wasps being a bit of
a
plague this year. Perhaps it's the result of a long hot end to last
summer
and a comparatively mild winter.


The BBC web site said it was due to a change in farming practices, using
less chemicals and leaving margins round fields.
