Re: Nuthatch
We get wasp's nest around the place too. There was a large one in a bird nesting box beneath high windows in the living room - small windows high up the wall. They didn't cause any problems and we just kept the small windows closed. The wasps left in the Winter and didn't come back. I gather they don't usually return to a previous nest. We cleaned the nesting box thoroughly after they'd gone and spayed the box with wasp killer spray. We've previously had them in the loft and garage too but they didn't cause us any problems so we never bothered doing anything about it.
We've never seen rats near the bird feeders or anywhere else in the garden. We get small wood mice and have had small field mice nesting under the compost bins but they've never been a problem. I think the neighbour's cats probably keep them under control as we sometimes find dead ones in places the cats tend to lurk.
Cats can be the worst problem we have to deal with near the wildlife feeders.
