Dear hive mind (and @futurebird@sauropods.win), it looks like we have a wasp nest in our loft. After our boiler was replaced, two circular holes were left in the fascias that had overflow pipes coming out. Didn't stop to think that would make a perfect entry point for wasps and just noticed a steady stream of wasps going in and out.
Time to call pest control (they will of course say yes, give us your money, we'll come and remove it)? Or should I just leave it until winter and then plug those holes after the wasps have left?
