Maybe some are more sensitive to it (i.e weres and the like) or maybe Lydia and Meredith, by their very nature as Death's messengers  are, plainly put, inmune to  a lot of supernatural things ( remember, they are also inmune to terianthropy,  for example).

I don't think it works as a ward against evil intents only. For instance, scott couldn't come across a mountain ash circle to save deaton when he was hanged at the bank vault Deaton was quite clear. Nothing supernatural can cross mountain ash therefore, Lydia is not supernatural.

Banshees are not, within teen wolf canon, death's messengers.

Scott forced his way through a mountain ash barrier. Lydia is completely unaffected by mountain ash.

This site only deals with what is shown on screen. That's the canon of the show and the reason this site exists. Speculation is fine but, once canon is settled, kind of pointless. How is it that banshees aren't supernatural? They could hear things no others can. The bite stimulated Lydia's "powers". In the first episode of this season, Lydia even seemed to have powers (e.g. the projectiles/barriers she formed when she was fighting). Their scream can shatter glass. Seems like they're connected to the supernatural world.
