Wasp nest between watercourse and public right of way. What to do?
Nic O'Demus wrote in message ... 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. Half a cup full of petrol. Setting light to it, though fun, is not necessary. -- Anton |
