Great Diving Beetle

wasps nest

with these any more and will point you in the direction of a pest control company- and that will cost. Is it "growing" out through the nestbox hole, or the roof, or what? Is it in a place where it is a nuisance to you or your neighbours? Bearing in mind by Kathy 2

what is this thats killing all our hedge and what can i do

by killing anything they're culitvating! If the neighbours regard it as a pest, then I'd use weedkiller to try and get rid of it, a weed is just a plant in the wrong place. If it's something that they've cultivated, do not use weedkiller on it, just cut any by christine de vries
