or you could try a waspinator!! https://waspinator.co.uk/
That's interesting, but I have two???
Edit - Although I only think there is activity in one.
Maybe they arrived simultaneously?
Maybe they started one and didn't like the view, so started another one?

They are interesting in their colour, one is a pale yellow and the smaller one a pale blue.
The wasps or their nests???

Nests, I'll get a picture tomorrow, unless I have to run
I have a wasps nest in the house cavity, they are entering via a vent that once connected to a pantry cupboard which was removed many years ago, but the vent was left to allow air into the cavity, I tried shifting them the other day by holding a smoking rolled up piece of corrigated cardboard which I held close to the vent, the only thing that got shifted was me, OH had the kitchen window open and the smoke was going in there where she was, for some reason she wasn't to pleased, how was I supposed to know the window was open, just because I was standing next to it, doesn't mean I noticed it

We had similar in London and got a bloke in!
I'm just going to let it run its course and once they are away I will close the vent or fit a fine mesh over it
Not sure you can tell from the pic but it's about twice - three times the size now, I don't spend long in the shed!!
