Heck no. I have huge wasp problems here in florida. They’d always nest in the space right at the top of the garage door and tops of windows. They end up in the house through the vents.

Paint the surface sky blue and they won’t nest there. Works about 99% of the time with wasps.

Wow, that’s good to know. Thanks!

I say I have wasps, they are mostly tiny parasitic wasps. Well, except for the wasps that like to build paper nests in my Chev Blazer!

I happen to like wasps myself, especially mud daubers and paper wasps. I have no use for yellow jackets though, because they have an attitude and are downright mean. But most other wasps are docile and won’t go out of their way to mess with you. And they pick the little green caterpillars off my tomato bushes and fly away with them. It’s fun to watch, and I don’t have to use insecticides on my tomatoes.
