There is also some european wasps trying to make a nest in a triangluar hold just above the last bolt on Grit and bare it/red direct?. There was only four or five wasps, but im sure they will work fast!.

Any one told DAFWA?

Any European wasps need to be reported so we can KILL them all!!

No, they are not Europeans, they are paper wasps - either Polistes dominulus (Yellow Paper Wasp) or the Common Paper Wasp, Polistes humilis synoecus.

The Yellows are from overseas, while the Common are from over East.
