    Anyway. I had a great idea. Why not capture some of the little buggers and then attach nano-homing beacons to them. That way you can track them back to their nests later on in the evening and eradicate them.

    I would like £250,000 for 5% of my business.

    You want to be careful, same program with the wasps was embarrasing the high street super markets and their dumb marketing standards. If it is 2.28 at Asda they will do you super deal to by a double pack at £4.60. Bargain huh

    It required a binbag to get rid of it.

    Quite empty by the time it was found.

    I have 3 tennis ball sized nests in my garage, but they were all abandoned early in the season.

    I'm rather more upset about the bumble bee nest drowning in a deluge though.
    So another cunning plan bites the dust.

    Don't worry about 'em. Bunch of bloody inbreds anyway!

    I have an empty wasp nest in my loft the size of a premiership football, along with quite a few small attempts tennis ball size. Not ventured up there for a while, but only commented the other day that we hadn't seen any wasps about, certainly not the volumes needed to occupy the massive nest.

    You spoil those little buggers. I let them have Tesco Own Brand.
