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?
Extremely helpful, thanks a lot! 💪
I put a blockage into the empty holes to prevent more being filled. I’ll stuff it soon.
And then, next year late spring, the others get removed too.
I’ll also look for more upgrades to the insect hotel. There’s some boxes of stuffed fibers, bricks with holes, and more planned. Thank for the tip!
