During the really hot weather we noticed a constant stream of wasps flying in an out of a gap behind the fascia board on NDN's house. It's clearly visible from our side of the fence but they rarely use that corner of the garden as it's just a side return around their extension. It's right over our garden.
We knocked and told them about it, and they promised to look into it. I saw one of them in the street today and asked about it. He said that the council have a six-week waiting list for removal. I asked if he had considered a private company, and he said he didn't want to spend too much money on something which 'barely affects them'. I offered to pay half of the cost as we would benefit too but he said no. I reminded him that we have two very small children, whereas his are much older, but he was unmoved. We haven't seen many wasps in the garden yet as I think they're still building the nest (not that I know much about wasp behaviour...) but it's surely only a matter of time before there are a lot more of them around.
AIBU to feel that he's being selfish, and that we should be able to use the garden without a wasps' nest a few feet away, or am I being precious?!
