Ken's Deputy 4,459 Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Empty both barrels into it at close range. Being sure to capture the entire event on film, for reference and training purposes. Thank you. 6 Quote Link to post

But the best time to sort them is night time when they ain't active. I will look for that foam stuff now mate Had a look on screwfix the reviews on this look good I will pick 1 up https://www.screwfix.com/p/zero-in-ultra-power-wasp-nest-foam-600ml/766hv 1 Quote Link to post
DIDO.1 22,580 Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 They arnt digger wasps. They are just one of the common wasp species that have made a hole in the ground. I'll be surprised if they last more than another week or two. Just don't go that close to em and you will be fine Girl 2 Quote Link to post
