Doesn't matter if it works or not, its an excuse for a bonfire!

Ok thanks. But will they just return next year do you know?

I can see the entrance its a hole about 1½" across so I filled it with wasp foam. Not sure how many more times I'll have to do it. I had wondered if powder was more effective

Anyone got any ideas for getting rid of wasp nest under ground? I was being nice and letting it stay as I thought it was ground bee's which are pretty harmless and nice creatures. But a blighter attacked me and my arms swollen up. Seems like a larger hole(1"-2") and a constant stream coming and going should have given it away as yellow jackets not bee's. Tried foam but not worked yet (maybe I keep trying that?) Any other ideas that have worked? Soapy water apparently? Petrol and a match? Dynamite sound good fun and effective but non of the layby pop-up firework cabins sell it😕

Yes... interesting a very small amount of private miliage is allowed didn't realise that. But commuting to an office for example is private miliage, not business? Presume going to site from home is business miles however, not private?

Need a really cheap local small runaround 4x4. Won't be doing many miles at all, or pulling heavy trailers etc. Bodywork condition not important but ideally needs MOT. They come up on Ebay/gumtree from time to time under £2k so hoping I can get something for that. Have been offered a 15yr old Toyota rav4 2l diesel for £1k, anyone had any experience of these? I think the jimny would be ideal but tend to have rust issues...

Go over it with a garden roller first to flatten them?

Yes give it a go. If a business leased a ranger then paid for fuel, maintenance, insurance etc itd be that. Maybe over 10 miles, or as someone suggested when you leave the estate or something it jumps up or you charge per mile.

Pretty sure Groudserv in Sutton have one they hire out which is 1.3m wide Not far from you

Maybe keep an eye out for a second hand petrol? Yes they are better than electric broadly speaking. Rock do some OK electric ones(probably be more than £700 though) but electric wil always be slower as they tend to be heading towards the max they can pull off a domestic socket/lead.

I had this with a 181, mice had chewed through the oil pipe. The cap leaks as well so check its not running from the cap and just dripping out the bottom.

What cage traps are good/suppliers? Or I could visit local store if I know what to look out for/avoid. And what bait works, Gareth suggested peanut butter? Finally, how do you bump off the trapped ones, other than shooting?
