    On cleaning our windows i found a wasp nest!! under the tiles which they didn't like me moving about, being that the nest is just above the front door i had to do something about it, i didn't have any chem spray to sort them out so i took to youtube for a natural way, lots were saying washing up liquid + some were saying add some pepermint oil as well in a spray bottle, well i got a pump sprayer mix washing up liquid and a few good drops of pepermint oil and set to work, found where they were in - out under the tiles so i started to spray, i didn't have much hope it would work, i was surprized at how quick it killed them + i didn't have any PPE so the pump spray worked well as i could stand on a ladder about 2-3 feet away and spray them, picture of 15 minutes work, i'm happy and i wouldn't be going for any chem spray now it's will be washing up liquid from now on

    Becarefull if you are tackling this sort of job as they can sting and swarm so please becarefull and not do this if you are not sure
