The wasps have got an outside cupboard as well as the stairs? And these things can chew through cement apparenty. They're going to be pissed that you tried to imprison them. And insulted that you tried to do it with playdoh. Evacuate house immediately.Moot_Geeza wrote:monkey wrote:I've still got a lot of questions about this wasp staircase.
They've always had holes (the presumably lead into or behind the outside cupboard they've got downstairs that may or may not have been a loo at some point), and I never questioned it. WHY DO THEY HAVE HOLES?

They called an exterminator who turned up to deal with it, he cemented it up and me and my brother were firmly told to stay away from it as the cement was laced with poison to stop the wasps chewing their way out of it. But I'm sure that Play-Doh will be just as effective.

One of my earliest memories is of my Dad dealing with a wasp's nest in our garden. There was this big mound of earth in the back garden, and they'd somehow nested in that, creating this rather inviting hole in the centre. Whether this passing resemblance to a dormant volcano was what inspired my Dad I'm not sure, but his solution to the wasp's nest problem was to fill the entire thing with petrol and throw a match in.
To be fair, it did work, it got rid of the wasps (and his eyebrows). So, maybe try that on the staircase if the Playdoh doesn't work out?
