Sealing recommendation to keep air and wasps out

nilsoberg | Posted in Energy, Heating & Insulation on

Hello,

I started a bathroom remodel and pulled off some drywall to install a tub onto the studs.  I encountered wasp nests on the inside of the drywall in the wall cavity and am wondering what I can do to seal them out.  The attic of the attached garage butts up against the bathroom wall and there appears to be access from the attic for the wasps.  I’ve attached a picture showing the problem.

Thanks for any help,

Nils

    Caulk, spray foam, pieces of drywall, etc.  There's no magic formula -- you have to seal things tight.
