Nests within reach are long gone; others are far enough away not to be a problem. I've seen "fake nests" crocheted to hang under eaves to try to discourage new nests, I don't know if they really work. It would give a crafty person a project that could keep them very busy, making scarecrow wasp nests for everyone they know.

Next door house is looking at a new roof, and my handyman friend has a roofer cousin doing appraisals, so I will let him tell me what he thinks about the condition of this roof. No way a cold caller is stepping foot in the yard (too often they are scammers of various sorts). I hope the heavy duty roof I put on (hurricane strength cost more but my insurance rates dropped) is still doing it's storm-proof thing. The co-pay on these is a killer. Next door told me their co-pay would be $12,000At With the rate that Trump is trying to deport immigrants, I'm sure that's forcing up the cost of labor. There is a lot less around right now.
