Wondering if I need to be insisting that condo management do something
about the wasps? My building is around 20 years old, and I don't think
this is anything new. They aren't getting into the house or attic that
I'm aware of. Seems to me if they spray or dust it needs to be done
regularly, unless maybe they put up a screen like they did for the
carpenter bees. ***What do you think needs to be done?***

BTW, The screen they used for the the gap in the section that had
carpenter bees was made of metal (since Carpenter bees can't bore
through metal). Wondering if this is a hazard for attracting lightening
during an electrical storm, since it is relatively close to the roof line?

Thanks,

If the wasps are out of the way I would just let them be, they are
extremely beneficial insects...don't recall ever hearing metal patches
ever being a problem with lightning.
