Well - he was. There you are - confirmation (if you needed it) that you were right.

Our second wasps nest of the year (the first one was tackled by a contractor on site and a wasp stung him and he ended up with an eye the size of a cricket ball !) and we were lucky enough to have a camera with us.

It was into action we went - we first gave the nest a good old application of insecticidal dust and then a spray with a liquid insecticide (possibly a "Message in a Bottle ?") - waited a few minutes and then took the nest down.

Our customer was well chuffed - he had young children who he was fearful of getting stung - danger removed !
