Private companies are very expensive - we managed to get the local authority to shift ours and it was much cheaper. We wouldn't have been able to reach ours as it was near the roof space and the guy used a lance to spray the nest. I still got stung and it was awful, I was really quite ill. Apparently there has been a huge increase in the number of nests this year. I would be too scared to tackle one myself.
My boy was stung on the hindquarters once - I was riding him at the time - and he went crazy. There was a swelling the size of an orange, poor thing. But I've heard of quite a few horses who react very, very badly and the worst case scenario is that they can die from many stings. I won't risk it, wasps have got to go!
