Default [OT] Wasps. Help needed

"Neil Cooper" wrote:

Hello Neil

NC I found a wasps nest in my paddock. It was a hole in the
NC ground about 1ft across and the same deep full of wasps. I
NC managed to destroy most of them but still have a number
NC left. Any ides on removal would be much appreciated.

Wait until evening when activity has died down.

Pour cup of petrol into hole.

Exit. (Rapidly, if they weren't as inactive as you thought)

DO NOT LIGHT THE PETROL!

The fumes get sucked into the nest and by the next day there'll be no
wasps left. Done this dozens of times with a 100% success ratio so
far.
