Get some benefit from your council tax and call the local council. They should have an exterminator on the books or know of someone with appropriate skills to collect & dispose of the critters.

Get some vinegar ready for if you get stung, it takes the pain out of them as they are caustic.

That's very generous of you!

I'm sure she'll come round and help if I ask nicely!

Cheers,

We used to make a wasp trap as kids.

Jam jar 3/4 full of sugar+honey+water mix, bit of tin foil fixed over the top with an elastic band and a pencil hole n the foil.

Leave it at the end of the garden and a few days later and it would be full of wasp bodies.

dont do this as it can trap honey bee's which are already in very low numbers


More a reminiscence than a serious suggestion - it attracts them from far and wide anyway so no use to get rid of them - but your point is taken!
