I’ve got lots of parasitic wasps making themselves comfortable on my balcony.
NOPE, not in the 5 star insect hotel I crafted JUST FOR THEM 😤
Last year, I removed a few screws I had drilled into the (gypsum?) wall, but was too lazy to also remove the hollow-core wall plugs and fix them.
Some wild wasps saw the opportunity and moved in, taking the burden off my shoulders to do the job 🤷
Now, I’d like to restore the wall to its old glory, before my landlord catches me doing stupid things 👀
But also absolutely don’t want to harm any innocent bees or other friendly critters. I want them to move out when they’re ready.
I also think many just didn’t make it, but I don’t know how to check that.
When would it be the best time of the season to seal them off?
Ah, I see
So exiting possible, but hole not visible from the outside
Maybe, yes
But at least “my” wild bees always come back to their old nest places
