Default Wasps are coming through into the house from attic

I have a problem with wasps. It seems that they are coming from the

through a sun lamp opening. I taped it shut as a test and
the wasps are still coming through.

Can wasps come in through the heating vents. I would think this is a
closed system, but I don't see another way for them to come in. I
have a forced hot air/oil unit that also uses A/C through the same
vents.

I did "bomb" the attic but the wasps are still coming in. It seems
that there are no "screens in the attic, so that it is easy for any
insect to come in through the roof on all sides of the attic. I guess
this is for venting. Is there suppose to be screens on the part of
the house that touches the roof to the house walls, to prevent such
insects, animals, etc.

If so, what should I use and how should i install it. From the inside
of the attic or from the outside with a 2 story ladder.

Thanks much,

I had them come in once. They ate their way through the drywall. In my
case bombing the attic took care of it. Sorry that it did not work for you.
You may been the pros and or screen those openings followed by another fog.
