The stairwell of my apartment building is infested with bees, wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets what can I do

The wooden stairwell that is leading up to my apartment is infested with boring bees, hornets, yellow jackets, and wasps. Last year we literally had to take a can of hornet spray and spray them just to get in and out of the car or apartment. I have a 1 year old son and I don’t want him to get stung. I am terrified of wasps hornets etc but my husband thinks that I am overreacting because I am afraid of them but the waps built nests in the stairwell and on the side of our building near the stairwell last year and I got stung coming up the stairs. They had to come and knock down the nests but it didn’t work they just kept coming back. I don’t know what to do. I have called and left a message with the apt office and they have not returned my call yet (that was like a week ago). My hubby won’t back me if I call the office again because he says if I leave the wasps, etc alone then they won’t bother me. Well, thats just ridiculous because I got stung and I wasn’t bothering them. Please help!
