I hate the little yellow so and so's - let's see if this keeps them at bay

I get one wasp a year in my workshop, this year's appeared about 4 days ago.

The same one every year?

 

[rtbcomp]

Don't think so, it gets killed.

 

[500e]

Had one in the lock

 

[RichardM]

Don't usually get many problems with them, I just leave them alone and they go away after a quick look round.

 

[Migmac]

Let them be, they won’t harm you if you don’t aggravate them

 

[Tigman]

Yeah and dont throw sticks into a wasp nest they go savage ! all up my arm , fastest i ever ran lol
I hate the little devils

 

[mrsbruce]

I have a soft spot for wasps, mainly because everyone tries to kill them.

Every year a certain garden centre where we go for cake and coffee, has problems with wasps in the open air cafe. We don’t, what I do is put a bit cake, sugar, and water on a plate on the far side of the table. The wasps happily get tucked into that, and never bother us.

one stung me last year I soon sorted it . used the 500 volt megger and fried it

Blowlamp or brake cleaner works

 

[Henrik]

I don't like killing them, or anything else if I can help it, so trying to get them to nest elsewhere this year.

Haven't you got a 1000v one then?

 

[brightspark]

yep just wanted to make it suffer longer

 

[Shox Dr]

Wasps are like coppers, start making a noise and waving your arms about, its little surprise they get interested.

And neither like been hit with a rolled up news paper

They don't like spray adhesive either, we had a nest on a bush in the garden, Mrs Cobbler found it! You could hear the screams for miles. I sprayed contact adhesive at the opening & the fumes finished them.

Stupid bumblebees fly into the workshop but can't find their way out until I turn all the lights out, then they usually find the door again.

 

[Tinbasherdan]

Had some in the roof of the garage, could hear them munching on the expanding foam. Builders caulk through the hole sorted them

 

[brightspark]

I had a bag of roof insulation in garage the bumblebees had nested in it slit it open and ran like hell there were thousands of them . bought 2 cans of wasp killer .put on overalls gloves and shotblasting helmet and went in and let them have it took ages to rip em out

 

[God mode restorations]

I don't kill em. Just try keep out the way. Bee's are often drifting in and out of the workshop. Normally when I am doing lathe work. You can hear a loud humming and look up and there be a steroid using super bee.
