Hornets nest- how to remove?

[Bangkoktraveler]

Give the village idiot 20 baht and tell him to throw a big rock at the nest. The vilage gets rid of the village idiot (which makes you a hero) and you gid rid of the nest.

 

If you have two village idiots, pay them both 20 baht.

 

Or do what some say, sppray the buggers and be done with it.

Best of all - if you happen to be the village idiot you may save 20 baht and throw the rock yourself ...

Sorry...

 

But did anyone notice that Carlton68 posted in another area other then the TECHNOLOGY section!!

I would like to offer my sincerest apologies because I seem to have polluted the board again with a carelessly assembled post : I was told in the meantime my Portuguese hornets were actually wasps and they left three years ago . Destination unknown .

My advice would be to dislodge the nest with something like a one iron. Stand on the balcony while doing this so that it falls away from the balcony onto the ground. However if it does land on the balcony relocate it with a good well aimed kick. Once on the ground, jump up on down on it until it's broken into lots of pieces (more peices the better), douse it in barbecue lighter fluid, strike a match and watch the sucker burn, baby burn. :thumbup:

 

A warning though, they can sting so have a couple of wee sticky plasters handy just in case. :thumbup:

Who can play a one iron these days?

A two wood would do a far better job.

In my first house I had yearly problems with hornets and burned the nests....

Just after dark,when all the critters have arrived home,sneak up to the nest with a hessian sack.

Put the sack over the nest and snap it off and secure the end of the sack securely.

Next,hotfoot it down to the last gogo bar that padded your checkbin,undo the sack and lob the whole lot inside AKA Apocolypto style!

See how they like getting stung:cool:

It will make the girls dance like crazy too!

2 wood, are you kidding?

 

A hybrid is the only way to go these days.

 

+1 on the spray method. Stand back and watch em drop like errr...hornets.

Thanks for your time and advice on this, sems like work has stopped on the house, I'm not due back there until 21st Dec.

 

I'm stunned at the lack of action by anyone onsite to deal with it, the plan to burn the nest seemed to cause a stir and lots of discussion as apparantly it has a value and can be sold for 100baht.

All this is holding up major works which will fuck up all my plans to oversee the final peices of work over a three week period. In the short term I've said theres a 1000 baht bonus to the guy who gets that thing removed.

Hopefully someone will take up the offer otherwise I shall have to take on a terminator role dressed as santa

 

I'll let ya know if we are successful or just end up burning the house down.I understand its the main talking point of the village so I suspect they'll want their seasonal farang entertainiment.

 

I'll try and get it VDO recorded, could be a standard training vid in how not to disturb a large hive of Hornets.
