Friends of mine lives in an apartment here in Stockholm, regularly they have been finding live wasps, about six of em in total. They suspect it to be a wasps nest somewhere, any advice on how to find it if there is any at all?

Do they have eves outside the window? Or an attic space?

Wasps nests are pretty distinctive

"European" wasps (well down in the south of Europe anyway) tend to make much smaller nests (that only house a few wasps) underneath individual roof tiles and the like. So you could be looking at lots of small nests rather than 1 big one.

I saw someone 'disagree' with this post, I was like, wow, who the fuck would disagree with that, have we got a wasp expert or something?

Then I clicked 'list'

It was me

:(

Definitely find the nest yourselves and then deal with it yourselves, using fire and sticks.

Make sure you have a camera set up and recording first.

GL!

I'm heading over to the apartment today to help her find that nest...I'd say a lighter and a can of hairspray will do it. Bucket of water if the fire escalates..



I feel this might be appropriate..

Right, so Fett made a thread about apartments and no-one mentioned the phrase that will not be mentioned.

I'm so proud of you, we're evolving into better humans.

Or do what I did in the 90's and suck the fuckers up with a Dyson and watch them spin at high speeds :) (There is a video of me doing it somewhere...)
Fuck off, you don't even own a Hoover, let alone know how to turn the fucker on!!!

I have 3 electrical hoovers now plus 1 organic... I do not need to know how to turn a hoover on, that is what kids are for :)

It's only an apartment, there isn't a lawn for you to not mow.

(and honestly, I thought of the apartment gag but he specified that it was a friend's apartment not his :( )

Update: Seems like a homemade flamethrower or any such device isn't needed - no more wasps has appeared since a few days back so all is fine until summer i suppose.
