Wasp attack!!

[krikey]

We have a rather large wasps nest inside our attic void at the moment. Its also active which is a bummer. Each day there are more and more wasps coming and going so I need to sort it out, and that got me thinking. Could I use the quadcopter to mount an aerial assault on these flying pests (yes I see them as pests), perhaps attaching an aerosol of Raid to the front with some kind of firing mechanism to depress the trigger and eliminate them?

Hmmm, how about and spray can and lighter for a poor man's flame thrower!>:D

I've had a couple of wasp nests and the only way is to get a guy with the right poison to spray into the nest opening. Don't know what it is but it's a white powder that the wasps carry into the nest as soon as it's sprayed. It goes a bit mental for a minute or two then quiet - that's it - game over. There are some horror stories about the size of wasp nests - you need to get it sorted properly and soon, forget the quad.

Id just get it sorted properly, and maybe film it happen.  ;D

You don't want it to go wrong and the wasps follow your quad back to you.

I hate wasps and would love to kill them all.  ;D

[Ratty]

I live in the country and suffer every year from wasp nests in the house, eaves, loft, cavity wall, garage, shed, etc and each year spent ££££'s with so called pest experts. 

Then my neighbor gave me a tip - use ant powder and just squirt a few puffs of the stuff near their nest entrance and it's job done. Evening time is good as they are less active. Still good fun though getting close enough if you have to go up a ladder!

[krikey]

that was my concern as getting down the ladder after puffing Derris powder for 15 seconds almost guarantees a broken neck. An expert came out today and sorted them for me. Whilst part of me is a tad dejected as a quad based assault seemed like a fun thing to do, at least the little blighters are gone.

Damn! Opportunity for a multi-million view YouTube video lost!

Should have poked it with a big stick!!! :D

[krikey]

Darn! Ill remember for next time and ensure that I climb a ladder with my laces undone, wearing nothing but a pair of speedos and smearing my body with honey, whilst swinging a big stick at the nest.

Be well worth watching that video! ;D
