Have you ever had an issue with wasps?

I've been trying to report a wasp infestation that is taking over our communal garden.

We can't see a nest in the trees or attached to the buildings.

They just hover over the grass but have multiplied since Saturday when first spotted.

But trying to get our local council to deal with this is insane.

Pest control recommended I contact greenspace.
I emailed them and apparently my files are too large.

I have finally been able to get it to their inbox only for them to tell me the Inbox is no longer in use and the email has been automatically redirected.


I can't say I feel confident about this.

The annoying thing is the children and the pets of the community can't go out there.

Video may be hard to view but I'll add anyways.

We had a nest of yellow jackets inside the BRICKS of our building. One or two a year used to get into my apartment. They can get into the tiniest cracks. However, there are also wasps that burrow in the ground. Until you KNOW where the nest is, through observation, there isn't much anyone can do.

Are you sure they're whasp?
Maybe ground hornets or yellow jackets and have a nest in the ground

Yeah, there was a nest under the gutter above my front door. It was new and the pest control guy got rid of it.
Yes, this summer has been horrendous. They attempt to nest anywhere possible. They're relentless.

We had then getting in through a crack in the front of our house. At the time, we had a wayward friend mooching off us living rent free in a basement bedroom. They were mostly only getting into his room so we maybe didn't rush to seal up the crack.

Yellowjackets will nest in the ground.

@Pfuzylogic will pest control do something about them?

Take some non toxic dried leaves, put them under the nest, put something like gasoline on it and light it.

The smoke makes them dizzy, then you can just bug bomb it.

@basilfawlty89 if you know where the nest is... But I'm sure I'd get a fine from my council for doing that

Yes I have! Definitely not exciting.
