I've found the nest. It's in the bank opposite our gate, right next to the lynch-gate for the cricket pitch. Their flight path is straight across the road, past where we park the cars and ends up with them boinging off our living room windows. It's getting a bit stressful now, with lots of small-child-flapping.
I have rung the council, who can't do anything unless the landowner asks them. The cricket club aren't that fussed about calling out the council, and the chap who's in charge of that sort of thing is out until quite late tonight. He's said that if I want to deal with it in the meantime, I'm welcome to.
So. I can't burn it out, because it's on the road. I mean, DIRECTLY on the lane. Should I go for that stuff you squirt in to seal it up? Or should I puff ant-powder stuff down it?
*sigh* |
