Get one of those mosquito zappers, and turn it on right next to the hole, leaving it on day and night. It annoys the hell out of them on their exit and return and the humming draws them out of the nest all night. You will clear 99% of them out in 48 hrs, done it heaps of time. We also had a big nest between the brick and plaster board in a cupboard. I bought a couple of the pressure can wasp spray, drilled a 3mm hole above the nest and saturated the nest, sealed the holes up in the process with duct tape. Its a bit stinky for a couple of days, and if you drill the hole too big, as I did once the wasps try to get out even with the spray nozzle in place. If its outside, kero, metho and petrol with a dose of engine oil provides the right amount of heat and soakage to burn the paper nest out of the ground and get the larvae. Baygon powder works well, especially in red gum sleepers. Yeah, I hate the pricks.

The rain and hail was so heavy, I had to pull over on the West Gate Freeway, along with many other sensible drivers. Buggered if I could see more than two cars ahead, but a lot of drivers with extra sensory perception or who are at "At One With The Force", kept on driving. Some were chugging along at quite a speed.
Must be very trusting of their instincts or just stupid.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Mate I was sitting at home extremely happy I wasn't driving in that. Had 85mm in my rain guage afterwards.

Yeah, got caught out like that way back in August coming home from the meet up at Licola. Hit the WestGate towing the van, bucketing down at least 25 mill covering the entire road, one could not see the lane markings, road works, lane changes from what I`m used to. What I found was the trucks barging their way through, blinding spray. " Please be getting out of the way, I`m looking for that funny bridge". Bloody Delivery drivers. Damn near got the wrong lane but got through unscathed.

It was almost whiteout while we were stopped. The windscreen wipers did sweet FA. I am at loss as to how there wasn't as pile up. With the hail on the road the lines disappeared. Mrs mudsane and I think all the cars on the side of the road provided a line of lights for the idiots to gauge their position.
But on saying that, we were parked almost nose to tail and I could barely see the second cars hazards. Wish we had of filmed it.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.
