My husband got stung 3 times yesterday while mowing the lawn and we are almost sure we have a nest in the garden. We think the dog may also have been stung a couple of weeks back and she still won't go to one side of the garden. I say almost certain as although we can see plenty of wasp activity in one particular area with wasps flying in and out of the hedge ( which is backed by a dividing wall) we cannot see a nest, though the hedges are fairly thick so it could be hidden.
My husband is talking about cutting back the hedge to find the nest but I think that is foolish as it could anger the wasps. Someone else suggested going along after dark and spraying the wasp nest killer foam in the general area. Personally I favour getting someone in to do it properly.
I don't want to leave it as the neighbour on the other side of the wall is a child minder and would have children out in the garden a lot of the time and I would be afraid the wasps may attack them ( I do intend on warning her)
Has anyone any other suggestions/advice on how best to approach this?
