| Re: Lifecycle of wasps?
I'd leave it - or at least try mowing and things first to see if its going to be a problem?
Wasp nests sometimes seem to take a lots of hassle before they come out stinging. For example there was a wasps nest in my mum,s garden (underground one) and my 4 year old niece was coming around and she was very likely to be allergic to stings so very reluntantly I decided to destroy the nest as we lived so far from any hospital and it just wasn't worth the risk. Anyhow despite filling the entrance with sand and gravel (which they removed piece by piece to continue) and then trying boiling water (they then removed their dead and started again) they never once stung me despite me standing over their nest abusing it!
Also wasps have lots of 'uses' they eat a lot of small insects that may otherwise munch on your plants or eat other insects that are harmless, they help to break down wood by taking it in pulp to their nests and they are just fascinating I think to watch. |
