blackmagic Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 When we kept finding wasps on my mother's windowsill we discovered there was a nest under the eaves. We got a pest controller in and he found an old nest on the attic that was the length of the attic. Fortunately it was empty. They had obviously moved to better accommodation. He used a powder that kills them but the wasps also take back into the nest on their bodies and so it effect all the wasps. You can buy stuff to deal with wasp nests , but It is safer to get a pest controller to destroy the nest as half dead wasps crawling about are dangerous. Some councils will remove wasp nests for free or a small charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 we got our letter this morning does that mean if you have a cracked drain on your property they will now fix it??...cause i suspect we have one. Have a look here, which explains it diagramatically hmmmmm could well be a wasps nest in your loft, if you do have one and feel brave enough, squirt ant powder into the netrance but it has to be done either early morning or late night and be careful not to get stung my brother came up last night..... and i didn't kill him I don't mind them being there if they are doing no harm so will leave them alone as long as they keep themselves to themselves. I even helped one out of the window this morning (with the aid of a plastic bag of course). Well done on not killing your brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Oh lord..the fruitloops over the road are about to put up a fence...6ft at least...in their front garden. I thought you couldn't have a fence that high next to a pavement? To be accurate, he's doing the digging and posts etc, she's leaning against the front door smoking! Remind me not to wait their side of the bus stop in future, a light breeze and the damn thing will probably collapse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) Suzannea - is it between their house and the one next door, or at the front next to the pavement? If it's the one on the front pavement then I think it's a maximum of 1m in height unless they have planning permission (but higher if it's a hedge) RMF : I think I may be addicted to Hawkland Bay Sauvignon Blanc. NuvverRMF : It has been threatening to rain for several hours. I wish it would hurry up, cos it will save me having to water the plants again (I'm on a water meter so hate to see what the amount of water I'm using on containerised plants is costing me).

houndzrus Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 good evening Thought I would pop in and say hi. Been to the lotty tonight and were the last ones out, at least that's some weeding out of the way for the weekend, especially as the forecast is so poor. This is my first ever sunflower, which looked fab this week, with the morning sun on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulesB Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Marge that's beautiful, so cheery. If it was mine I'd have it printed on canvas and hang it in the house for looking at when I was feeling a bit down in the dumps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max was trotting quickly back to the car (usually he dawdles) cos he doesn't like heavy rain. My living room now smells of soggy dog, yum.

collies r best Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Lovely sunflower pic Alex, do you know how to have a lazy weekend you're always on the go Heard on our local news that a man had been found dead in his car on thursday, looks like it was a heart attack. Only found out last night its a friend of mine He was in his early seventies but you'd never have given him that, a really lovely guy. He has a smallholding with cows, pigs, horses, chickens etc so i'll pop up later and see if anyone needs a hand with the animals until things are sorted.
