Wasps still a problem?

Wasps it appears may be continuing to be a problem for people and their pets at Palermo Palm Springs. Positively Palermo received a copy of this e-mail sent to the HOA board: "We are very disappointed regarding the effort on removing the wasp problem this week. It was our understanding that ALL yards would be inspected, not just the ones with gates that are not locked. Per Brandi's e-mail below, she is saying it's a liability issue. Can someone please explain what that means? We thought the letter that went out to all owners would eliminate liability issues. The painters climbed over fences using ladders, why can't the exterminator do this. We can't believe we are STILL stuck on yard access to eliminate this health and safety issue. This has been said OVER and OVER again, but if all nests are not removed all at once we will continue to have this issues. Why can't the HOA understand this simple fact. All B and C units and some A and D units do not have gates so over half the yards were not inspected and half the nests are still there. Not to mention the money we spent on this inspection is completely lost since it will have to be done again. Wasps are buzzing in our yard this morning and in our pool. Actually, it's the same volume as when we were here 3 weeks ago. THIS HAS GOT TO BE RESOLVED!!! We will not stop pursing this until it is. You have no idea how frustrated, upset and shocked we are by this failed attempt to resolve this issue. The inspection MUST be done again in ALL areas, including yards. Please let us know when this will occur. Penny, Please post." Miss Penny Lane says: This stings.

My back yard does not have a gate but one of the painters knocked on my door and let me know it was out there. I reported it. I don't know why some people are having such a hard time getting things doen. To be honest when ever I call Brandy or Michael my issued is fixed with in a day or so and if it is going to take longer they let me know. Maybe we should use the sugar gets more than vinager :)

All yards and common areas need to be inspected at the same time to resolve this issue. DRM is not allowing the pest technician to use a ladder to get in to yards with no gate or a locked gate even though the newsletter DRM sent out stated they would unless the owner objected. This was supposedly to eliminate any liability from DRM, so why didn't the inspection happen in all yards? This question needs to be answered by DRM at Monday nights meeting.

This is not new. We have had this problem last year too so the HOA has had much time to get it right.

You could call pest contol yourself. After all it is your back yard and the HOA isn't in charge of back yards. I,m just sayin
