So i have a phobia of bee's and wasp's, i think this came from the fact my sisters used to scare the shit out of me by making buzzing noises in my ears when i played outside as a child.
It isnt so bad nowadays but i still dance, bob and weave like Neo from the Matirx when i see them.
My lock up is next to a wall, the door opens less and less now as this plant/tree thing has been growing in the gap between.
I noticed some wasps hanging around it, they didnt bother me, but they have been increasing in numbers even though the summer is ending.
I've now seen why, it's a bloody nest!
Where the door opens there is a nest behind it, now every morning i open it, they get a little pissed off and buzz all over the place.
What can i do, i know that if one dies it infuriates all the others.
i thought of nuking it with flammable liquid but what if i dont get all of them, also it is right next to someones house.

Get down your local garden shop and get a spray can of wasp nest killer. You can spray it from a fair distance away, it expands like foam, so just spay it over the entrance and it kills all the little buggers!

don't do that!!!
I found this...
| Quote: | It’s a funny old world
Reuters reports that a Zurich man sprayed a can of insect killer on a wasps’ nest then tried to use a cigarette lighter to fend off the angry swarm. The resultant fire caused his flat, and those of two neighbours, to burn down, causing SFR500,000 of damage. At least the fire was accidental. Mr Sandhu of Milton Street, Walsall tried to destroy a football-sized wasps’ nest in his attic by deliberately using an aerosol as a flamethrower - he too set his house alight.

have you spoken to your employer/manager? This is potentially a health and safety issue and surely it would be his/her responsibility to have it safely removed or exterminated?
Chances are they'll have to call in the professionals to get rid of it, I know when the electricians in work come across one we have to liaise with the environmental services to get it removed before works can be completed (happy happy joy)
Alternatively, on ebay at the mo...

Or you could ring Environmental Health and let them sort it.
Were you serious when you said you're scared of wasps cos your sisters made buzzing noises when you were little?  ____________________ <Simple> no I'm shaven Jon

Yeah, they used to get behind me and sneek up, then just do buzzing noises and probably touch my head as well.
Sometimes i'd run so fast i'd hit my shins on the patio door as i tried getting away.

They're usually fairly quick coming to remove nests, especially if you can point them directly at the nest.
I wouldn't go spraying those wasp nest killer sprays unless you can do it from behind a door or window that you can close when the contents of the nest get pissed off. Spray grease is a very effective fly spray though.
You want some hornets to play with, wasps are only little.  |

Yea, Environmental Health team will sort it out for you
They remove nests from people's houses and private property as well as council owned property.
They should sort it out
Word of advice, don't be near the nest when they smoke it out, as all the lovely buzzers start to die they go on a stinging frenzy.  ____________________ Avast! Pirates ahoy!

I have had a wasps nest on my garage door all summer.
It's still there now, but to be honest I think all the wasps have gone.
Consider this, it has been there all summer, while its been red hot and chilly, and I haven't been stung once, i have ignored them (apart from watching with interest on how big the nest is getting) and they have pretty much ignored me.
They are not out to harm (unlike spiders, which of course are evil ), just don't go poking your finger in the nest
