Wasp nest

We seem to have a wasp nest in our front garden, right in front of the house where most of the windows are. How do we get rid of them and what do we do about opening windows or not in the meantime??

What sort of wasp nest? Whatever you do wait til dusk when they're less active. If it's a paper wasp nest (like an exposed ball) you can just spray it with fly spray, if it's a german or common wasp nest (in a burrow or tree hollow) you kill it by pouring petrol into it.

There looks to be some good info here - I haven't read it so if it disagrees with me follow their advice not mine!

Thanks, they are all going underneath a bush and without using my hands to move the bush, I can't see if there is a nest or a hole - or anything. But there's about a dozen wasps around. We rang the Council but they will only deal with it if it is on their property. They certainly look like German or common wasps though.

Heck, I wouldn't be touching it or going anywhere near it! LOL.

Yep i sure wouldn't be doing anything to it get someone like pest control to deal with it they no what they're doing wasps can get pretty agro not worth the risk imo.
