They're back - again!
I walked out to the shed today assuming that destruction of the nest and all visible wasps on 25th was enough. Nope, wrong again! There was a clump of about ten or so on the corner of the shed door and boy were these ones aggressive. There followed half an hour of me sneaking up to the wasps, spraying them frantically and then running like hell back to the house. I never got stung but twice they followed me right back to the door (where my partner was waiting with a second can of spray with instructions to spray me from head to foot, no hesitation, if I yelled "Spray me!")
Eventually there were no more wasps so I ventured back into the shed, checked to see if there was a second nest (which I forgot to do on Sunday) and cleaned off the remnants of the original nest - I did get of the nest but the stem where it was attached to the shed roof was still there. Let's hope that will be enough to persuade them that this is not a good location for a nest! I'm not sure what else to do if they keep coming back - there's no "wasp repellent powder" that I know of.
