Neighbour is refusing to treat a massive wasps nest in her guttering and now the bastards are spreading out.

[BlueEyedBengal]

I live in a terrace house that is right on the pavement. Returning off holiday 4 weeks ago I spotted that there was a wasps nest inside my 2 door down neighbours house in the guttering so I told her thinking she didn't know, the answer was'i know they will soon go '. 4 weeks later and they have spread the entire front of her house and are scaring the shit out of me. The other neighbours either side are finding wasps in their bedrooms one has a young baby and now they are searching my roof for a way in. F b goes unanswered and she doesn't give a flying f---k what the hell anyone thinks like who lives like this? My children have to walk past her house to and from school and our diesel car sets them off into coming out in a tumble.council says she needs to phone . What the hell do we do now?

i honestly would go round to her house, and tell her that you are going to phone the exterminator. if there are kids living on the street, especially babies, its important to get them cleared away before someone gets stung. perhaps she is just lazy and can't be bothered to phone?

I'm surprised it's still there
She doesn't need to do anything. Wasps vacate their nest this time of year and they don't return to it. They die.
That's why they are so bad tempered
Hungry, homeless and pissed off

I don't get this massive fuss over wasps!! They live then die....quickly

Maybe offer to pay for it op?

The officer from the council came round at 4 30 apparently and even then she refused to answer the door. The neighbours either side are now so fed up that they have now agreed to pay half each to exterminate. He said it was one of the worst nests he had seen. They show no signs of dying off on their own, just seem to be getting over aggressive.

Festering my DPs had to have a nest destroyed a week or so back and the exterminator told us that this summer has been an astonishing year for wasps. The nests are three times the normal size and they're taking a lot longer to die off.

So OP and her neighbour may have to get the nest destroyed or wait for several days until the wasps finally die off.

My DF kept on telling DM the wasps would die off on their own. After the fourth time she got stung, DM put her foot down. That's when the wasp man got a call
