Yes - it was in the roof space, but it took a while to work out where it was. At least the trap made it possible to go out and observe where they were coming from.

Thanks 3littlefrogs. Did you actually have a nest? I still can't tell if we have!

Lakeland do a very good wasp trap and attractant solution to put in it. It might help to draw them away from the house while you try to locate the nest?

The trap fits over a large plastic bottle and once they get in they can't get out. I filled sevral last year and I put it right away from the house - it did reduce the numbers.

We had a nest last year in our roof but I can't seem to locate one this year. Can I ring pest control without knowing where the nest is or even if there is one? ARGH! It's only a matter of time until dc get stung sad angry

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
