If it's in the loft be !Removed! careful... If there are any in there and they swarm you while you are in the loft, you be off to hospital.

That said... bag the small one. Spiders or wasps... Who cares, that's just too damn freaky and spiders have more eyes and legs than anything natural needs.

I sorted a wasps nest in the garden wall this summer. Pretty sure I remember reading the post on wasp nests, complete with pictures. Was well funny. Outside they're not too much of a problem unless you have kids running around. I just got a rubber tube, stuck a funnel in it, got the meths ready then in about the space of five seconds: stuck the tube one in of the entry holes, dumped the meths in it, lit 'em up. Those that got out got mist sprayed with a "MuckOff" bottle full of more meths.

Evil ba***rds!

Worked though. :)

Indoors however... Problem. I'd seriously get someone to look at it or at least have an ambulance outside with the engine running. ;)

Cheers,

Jim

Link to post in another waspy topic. The smaller nest sounds like what you need to get rid of.

"All worker wasps die out during the winter; the only wasps that survive are the queen wasps. Queen wasps hibernate during the winter inside the old nest or construct a small “golf ball” sized hibernation cell."

we once had a wasp nest located behind an air brick on the house, local wasp man came out and ther begen the funnest wasp killing ever - first he smoked em out then with one of those industrial leaf blowers set in reverse he sucked the buggers out - this went on for nearly 10 mins sucking in wasps and spitting their *****ty bodies all over the patio,

"so is that it then?"

"uhm, well i saw a big 'un go in so i think i caught the queen"

"oh, erm ok"

job done :D

I was under the impression that they never return to an old nest, as when we had one in our loft we always had them coming in the house, we phoned a specialist and he said they'll all die off soon and they dont return to an old nest!

OK here is an update.

Went up in the loft again today and removed both items.

The small grey ball was very fragile - as I touched it it just crumbled away - therefore there is no real way of me telling what it was !

The larger nest is, as most people said, a wasps nest. There were many wasps dead around it and quite a few hundred dead inside.

The honeycomb interior is quite interesting, I have cut the nest in half and have taken a photo -
