Well I will be. The nice pest control ossifer that I rang up for this morning turned up almost to the minute. Will be removing 2 wasp nests. If wasps still present after a week, they come back and do it again. Could get used to this sort of service.
edit: Surprise of the week. One of the wasp nests wasn’t wasps - it was bees. European honey bees. So that nest wasn’t poisoned, but dug up and the nice pest control ossifer took it home with him in a bucket to add to his collection of hives. There may be some stray worker bees looking for it over the next few days but he successfully found the queen and two baby queens too. The nest didn’t have much honey in it, so I freely gifted him with any that was there. He then reduced the quoted cost cos the quoted cost included the chemicals for destroying 2 wasp nests and only 1 lot was used. Shout out to him.
This is a story which makes me happy! I’m still peeved at my kids school because there was a bee hive/nest thing in a tree and they brought in exterminators who fumigated with toxic chemicals and killed all the bees. The kids said when they went out to play there were all these bees dying and convulsing on the ground 🥺 I like how your story goes better: bees saved and taken to where they’re useful, and wasps sent to hell in a haycart 👍
