A couple of weeks ago a Queen Wasp decided the shed is a good venue for a new home and a 2" starter nest appeared in the corner.
Whilst wasps bring great benefit to the allotment - it would never work sharing a shed, so she had to go!
Waited for her to go off and then quickly squashed and removed it - few grubs inside.
Draped plenty of lemon barm around shed and fixed netting at window gaps to discourage her but on leaving she wouldn't give up searching.
Checked back today and surprisingly she had decided to try elsewhere. Pleased that we didn't have to kill her, and hope she has found a suitable spot nearby.
