Title: What is this?
Post by: SnS on March 08, 2008, 02:23 PM

This morning, I found this hanging from the underside of my garage roof (inside).

Only thing I've seen similar in construction is a wasp's nest, but as this is slightly smaller than a golf ball, I guess it must be something else (spider perhaps).

Any ideas - before I remove it.

I had one exactly like it hanging from my front door canopy thing.... our area is infested with spiders but never found out exactly what it was - was nothing in it.

I have a feeling it's the start (or end - when I get rid)) of a wasps nest.

It's the common wasp nest. There's a pic just like yours about 3/4 down this page: http://tinyurl.com/3d6v2x

By some strange coincidence I removed two of them from the loft of my house just last week.

Where did you dump your two SS ... it looks like one of them's emigrated here?  :-\

Thanks - being exterminated now.
