It's worth keeping a tin of the wasp nest destroyer in the van for such eventualities... the type that shoots a jet of poison foam so you can lace the nest with it from a safe distance. Nice add on service for the grateful house holder although it doesn't finish all the wasps off instantly so unlikely that you would be able to cut the rest of that part of the hedge the same day
Hmm, that's a good idea :)
Glad to see you both had a very near miss and escaped unharmed. Only on monday was I working besides one for a few hours and didnt reallise untill I fired the blower up and blew the remaining debris and dust back under the hedge
I keep a can of spray/ powder in the van nowadays.
A good few years ago I hoe'd over a nest in the ground, 12 stings down my back & ripped my shirt n half like the Incredible hulk as they were inside it.
Last year I turned a bulk bag of clipping's into a customers compost bins. Again I had a dozen stings, the worst of which was under my bottom eyelid & down my arm.
Wasps are great preditors in the garden but a bloody menace, I have at least 50 pears on my Concorde tree here, every one of them destroyed by the f****ers.
