We’ve had cedar cladding on a part of our house for over 2 years now. It is untreated and so has weathered to a silver colour. All good, except in the last month or so I’ve noticed some bits of the original wood coming through and I think something has been “eating” it (see photos). I suspect wasps as I’ve noticed lots of them out there recently on the cladding, but I’m not 100% sure.
Assuming it is wasps (or another insect) and I don’t want them to do any more damage than they’ve already done, does anyone have any recommendations for repelling them? E.g. something I can apply to the cladding to stop them.
For reference, we live in a coastal village but next door to a field which currently has corn in it. I don’t think it’s cats because some of the damage is much too high.
