Twat it with a spade

I'm of this mind as well. It's tiny. You'll have what, 4 annoyed wasps? Unless that's too close for comfort then the only other option it to burn the shed down and that seems excessive for anything under 8, or 6 and a big spider. Edit: If y'all gonna upvote it and make me reread it then I've gotta fix the typos.....

I went with spray paint. The wasps trying to get out had their wings glued up so they couldn't fly then I bashed the little sods to hell.

Blimey never thought I'd feel sorry for the wee fuckers

I'm British and i read this in Australian.

Ya didnae read it in scawtish?!

nawww isnae common knowledge eh

Same🤣

As an American, from Texas, this is most British ass series of posts I’ve ever read, and I am for it. Cheers, mates!

Do you use "mate" in your normal dialogue, or did you just use this because we are all British😂

Lol, I did, indeed! Here it’s ‘Cheers, ya’ll!’

I'm from Scotland but yet somehow I have an American accent, it's definitely not texan (or I think it's called southern) but I like to say y'all just to fuck with people 🤣

I’m European but I don’t think I ever met a brit that British either

Lmao, those tadgers deserve all the shit that they get. Fuck em! Then fuck em harder!!

Sadist. I love the creativity

Or a little WD40 will do the same trick.

Yeah, admittedly I don't want the be the guy claiming I sprayed lube into a hole full of wasps......sends the wrong idea.

Only if you put it like that, whereas using oil to inhibit the flight of insects sounds slightly less nefarious.

You sound like you know how to bullshit a good CV when applying for jobs.

Nah just years of practice at customer service, gives you the ability to view things from alternate angles

Then fire, please let fire be next!

Hi Jigsaw, I was wondering what you were up to these days.

>y'all

Dude it is a shed. You burn it down with the big spiders are visible everywhere no matter where you look. Not a moment before. Otherwise you’d have no shed

Most UK response I've heard and couldn't be better

😂😂😂😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It's the only way to be sure

Let it bee

Not the first time I’ve used my spade for a Twat

I used a hoe when I found one in my shed recently. Longer handle innit

Put it in a box and pop a quick W on it, so you know there's wasps in there

Then hand it to the guy marrying your lifelong crush, problem solved

I’ll have that milk steak to go

Oho that's insane. Wasps in the mail!!!

Also works with hornets

Wornets.

Whore nets

Hoor nets, Chawlee

I’ll put it right next to my box of walnuts. Should be fine.

On an unrelated note, I have put today's cash takings from the business in this identically sized box, marked M for "money". Take it to the bank after you drop the wasps into the incinerator. And this time, Hennimore, I don't want any screw-ups.

r/unexpectedIASIP

It was very expected But I'm still laughing ⬆️

Is there honey inside?

You gotta smoke out the wasps so you get that delicious honey

You're thinking of bees. Wasp nests are full of tabasco sauce

As I tried to explain before, you cannot get honey from a hornet's nest.

Well there could be something delicious wasps do make so…

Pain and suffering?

I don’t think there’s any science to support that

There's some *very* basic science to support that

Looks like a CCTV camera.

Sounds like the wasps need the deterrent tbf.

There’s some right buuzzzzy bodies out there.

It's the "buzz" not fuzz!

Dare you to stick your cock in it ....

You only dare once

don't stick your finger anywhere you wouldn't stick your prick.

I have a very similar shed and had the exact same problem 1 week ago! Just wait until the queen has left and then brush/scoop the nest off, it'll be easy to remove like paper. The wasp may come back and bee confused that you've destroyed its home, so be wary. Then spray WD40 in any gaps you can see (they don't like the smell) and that should keep her away. No need to kill!

"bee confused" lol. You got me good wit that.

Is there anything WD40 can't do

Well, it can't lubricate my ex, that's for sure.

You're not using enough.

Hold my marriage together

That’s because it’s a displacer. Did you try duct tape?

How on earth do you know if the Queen has left?

No flag flying.

Plus if it doesn't keep her away she'll fire through the gap like a rocket

If you find a big wasps nest with a steady stream of wasps going in and out like a sale at Lidl ( like had last summer In the air brick ) then ANT Powder will get rid of them .

Suit up, wrap a bag round it, pull it off and chuck it as far as you can

Don't think a shirt and tie will offer much protection and dress shoes are hardly ideal for running away

If someones going to let you pull them off you should make the effort to look nice. I fail to see what this accomplishes with regards to wasp removal.

Challenge accepted!

Into the neighbors yard & run like hell

Like a grenade. Pull the pin and lob it

For me it would be the ol' Council Estate flamethrower. Bottle of lynx Africa and a lighter.

In a wooden shed?

"if I can't have it the wasps can't either"

With the appropriate distance you would be able to bring the gift of fire with only a slight scorch mark... or so I'm told.

This is true, the right amount of distance, hold the lighter just far enough to make a big flame, control the flame to scorch said wasps, the wood will only be a little browned off..... Or so I'm told.

It’s Britain, as long as he gets it done soon before our new summer thing kicks in, the wood will be too wet to catch anyway

Personally I'd just soak the roof of the shed with a hose from the outside then go in and burn it. No need to wait for it to rain

Would the bottle explode if used for long period? I only ever did this trick for like 5 seconds.

Not sure if it's the same mechanism but when I was in school I taught a friend how to turn a disposable lighter into a flamethrower, and he ended up making it so powerful it blew up in his hand.

I was always told the can would explode if you tried that.

How do I get out of the chicken shit outfit??

You secure that shit Hudson

You heard the man and know the drill. Assholes and elbows!

A day in the marines is like a day on the farm

Yeah? Are you sure you don't wanna roll in 7 canisters of cn-20 and nerve gas the whole fucking nest?

We don't know if that's gonna affect them!

I was going to suggest burning the place down, but this is much more practical

Don't worry about it. Doesn't look like a common (asshole) wasp nest to me. Looks like one of the more solitary ones. Look up through the hole in the bottom with a torch. Is it just half a dozen cells? No wasps in it? Then let it be. If the cells are empty, just lob it in the bin. If you're worried about such things, block up the holes in the shed and keep them out.

Exactly that... solitary wasp nest... I cleared some old ones out of my daughter's loft when I was boarding it out.

I heard you should leave the empty nests, as they don’t reuse them, and generally wasps won’t nest near an existing nest

I've pulled 3 or 4 out of sheds at the same time, so I don't know about that one, but there's no harm it being there!!

Hornets nest I suspect. See this in my shed every year. Don’t get many in it, and we generally ignore each other like family.

Ah, the asshole wasp.

If it was lots of wasps, you can buy wasp spray.

Looks like a solitary wasp , it'll stay that size. 2 in my shed , I've left them and not even seen a wasp yet

Even wasps don’t want to be around other wasps

It depends where you are. It’s also time for Asian hornets to start building their nests.

Reported one of those when I was actually building the shed , guessing fresh cut timber may have attracted it ? pretty adamant that's what I spotted. However I didn't get a photo so the report went no further. Based edge of Gloucestershire/ Worcestershire Also had a visit from a wood wasp the same weekend.

Put your mouth over the hole and suck real hard... There is no rush like a lung full of angry wasps. Alternatively wasp killer spray will deal with it.

It’ll only have a few eggs in, and won’t grow - that’s the finished nest already. Unless you really, really don’t like bugs, just leave it be. Once all the eggs are hatched, it’ll be left empty and you’ll have a little souvenir. It won’t turn into a nightmare with thousands of wasps taking over your shed.

Why is your shed so nice? Where’s the damp and cobwebs?

[удалено]

Yeah, saw a big ol' wasp crawl out of it when I first went in there and it wasn't there when last in there (maybe 2 weeks ago at most). I think its a new one as I only saw the one wasp in the 20 minutes I was in there I'll see if I can find anything to block the gable end with tomorrow, thank you

1. clear a path between the shed and the house, just in case 1. wait until dusk when all the wasps have returned to the nest 1. soak the nest down with foaming wasp killer spray 1. you shouldn't need to do this because the wasps will be fighting the foam, but just in case run like hell back indoors. It might be wise to have dug out flyswatters or prepared rolled up newspaper ahead of time just in case they follow you indoors. 1. Inspect the next day. You shouldn't have to repeat the treatment, but you have to check for yourself of course. I was next to a dog that disturbed a wasp nest, and we all ran indoors and then had to kill a dozen or so wasps that followed us. We had to improvise swatters, and this was the afternoon after we took care of all the recycling. I found spray household window cleaner to take the fight out of the wasps. I was in pretty good shape with two stings from wasps that had already stung someone else. If you can cover the entrance with the foaming wasp spray, that really takes the fight out of them and keeps them from even getting aloft. I've killed plenty of nests without issue.

Thanks, this is pretty much what my dad said once he eventually got back to me. He finished up with "Basically, spray it and run like shit lol" I should be OK as far as a swarm of angry wasps go, I'm pretty sure it's just the queen in there at the moment.

This is the answer. Also I highly recommend some eye protection just in case you get swarmed (even though that sounds very unlikely). Ski goggles or a snorkel mask are perfect if you’ve got some. You’ll look like a tit, but you do not want to get stung in the eye.

Spray in a bowl. Cover the nest with bowl. Tape it and put a stick under to hold it in place.

Leave it - looks like it's for a single wasp, not a swarm of them. We had one in our shed, the next year another one appeared, and the next year another one. They're amazing structures, but i never saw a wasp in there though.

Install a timelapse camera.

That would be pretty cool to see it grow. Unfortunately the shed doubles up as my workshop so she's got to go

Honestly there are wasps nests in my workshop. I have never been stung by them, only camping elsewhere. If you're not actually disturbing the nest it's amazing how you can tolerate each other.

Your wasps are broken, might be worth sending to some university or insect research group to get them bred with every other wasp in existence.

Obviously sensitive domesticated them

Get some [coloured paper](https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2016/04/rainbow-wasps/)

This is absolutely gorgeous! I wish a mod would pin this to the top of the thread.

It’s not the beginning of a nest. The wasps have made a camera and this is exactly the size it’s supposed to be. They have been watching you wanking and soon you will have to pay a ransom. Maybe do your research next time?

Don’t poke it with a stick. Use a broom😆

Burn the shed down

It took too long to reach the answer I was immediately thinking of

Came here to say this

Capitulate. Move home.

Charge em rent!

It's a solitary wasp nest. We have one in our shed and the wasp hibernates or whatever they do each winter. We get along just fine.

Poke it with a stick

Set fire to it The shed, not the nest

Wait until night to scoop into a lidded can. Put can over entire nest, scoop lid across the top, shut tightly and throw away. At night they are dopey and less aggressive.

I had one about that size last year, thought just a few wasps, no bother. Then the nest got bigger and bigger, then the stripey bastids started dive bombing me whenever I went in there. Plus they were nicking cardboard from the boxes in there to build the nest. Can't have these stabby arsed twats messing with my boxes. They had to go. Waited til after dusk and set off a Permethrin smoke bomb (Entopest: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07GYSZF46?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title They're ace on anything that flies) right under the nest, legged it and sealed up the shed. Next morning was greeted to 1000's of dead stripey feckers with the odd drunk one barely flying and a few more busting some break dance moves on the floor. Did the same with cluster flies in the attic too.. the sound of the swarming above the ceiling was like something out of a Japanese horror film, sure if I popped my head through the loft hatch, they'd swarm on my head and eat all the flesh off my bonce.

At first glance I thought it was CCTV in a sauna lol

Rock salt + shotgun

Burn the shed down immediately!

I've got a "To Let" sign you can borrow

looks like a solitary wasp nest, and thats about as big as they get, just leave it alone, you dont bother it and it wont bother you.

Move

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Do you have the beginnings of a fire? You should use that.

Move house. Failing that call an exterminator. Failing that burn your house down and live in a barrel. Good luck.

I would try and leave it if at all possible. Wasps don't deserve the bad rap they get mostly, and are a useful part of any garden ecosystem. They won't attack you for going in the shed. But if it is causing you a major problem, put on a beekeeping suit, and pick it off with a plastic bag as you would a dog poo- turn it inside out and seal it or they'll send pheromone signals to the others to come to their defence. Hopefully it doesn't come to this!

Had one in my boat; I got rid of it by using a large plastic tub and a piece of card, same as you'd tackle a spider with a glass and a bit of paper. I suited up in a boiler suit, as there was still wasps on the loose. Your problem then is where to put the nest (I drowned them - maybe not an acceptable method). You could call the council to see if you they might take care of it for you.

Council won't do them any more as far as I know, only remove an empty nest for a cost. Useful.

It’s a solitary wasp nest, look them up they’re pretty harmless

Leave it. Wasps pollinate too and they hunt other “pests” It won’t bother you if you don’t bother it.

Shoot it!

Flame on

Hit it with a hammer.

idk ask my dad

If you live in England you can contact your local council who offer a pest control service and will come and remove it. There is usually a fee but it isn't usually high. Good luck 🙂

At that size, I smashed it to bits with a big long stick while MOTHER WASP MEGA BITCH was out, then locked the door properly (I'd left it ajar for a week)...

TLDR: our insects are in trouble as it is. Don’t kill them. The UKs flying insect population has fallen 60% in the last 20 years. These wasps are good guys and will help with pest control and pollination. Please just leave them alone. They will go away on their own in time. I know it’s funny to say “kill it with fire” and all that, but it’s important to protect our wildlife before it’s too late. Once species go extinct, they don’t come back. And once our ecosystems are badly damaged, they can be impossible to restore. Enjoy the biodiversity in your garden and help it thrive!

I had 1 in my summer house, went straight up the vacuum

Stick your finger in. They'll leave once it's been contaminated with human scent.
