Am at my gf's house and we found a hole in the outside siding where bees are coming out if. Not many.

Any advice, apart from a fire bomb???

 

 

DEFINATELY call a Bee Keeper!!!

If the queen is in there, and she probably is, the only
way to get rid of them is to have the queen removed.

I have no idea what they cost, but its better than
getting stung 100 times.

 

unleash a whole bottle of the wasp/hornet spray in there??? it should kill a lot of them

 

One of my friends recently had that problem. He noticed a few bees coming out of a small hole in his wall on the outside. He called a beekeeper. Turns out there was a big hive in there, which the beekeeper took care of. So don't assume that just because you're seeing only a few bees come in and out of the hole that those are all the bees you have to deal with. Have a pro take care of it.

 

And really piss off the rest.

 

I have an entire hive of bumble bees living somewhere in a wall of my house (exterior portion)

luckily, theyre only bumble bees, so they mind their own business.

 

Let the pros handle that problem. Your wall is and you don't want to end up like your wall.

 

bingo - we had a wasp's nest, as it turned out. We saw a few lazy wasps swarming around a second-floor bay window, and called an exterminator who told us that for every wasp we saw, there were several hundred more nesting inside the wall cavity. We let him handle it........ and we took a quiet afternoon off to go for an extended picnic in the local park, came back after the carnage was over and the odor had dissipated. (We also took the cats out of the house just as a precaution, although our exterminator thought that was a bit over the top, very little of the fumes entered the house itself.

Frankly, I don't think this is a home handyman task.......let the pro with the mask, gloves and institutionally sized tank do his schtick. They love what they do for a living, and they do it very, very well. Noting worse than doing the job half-assed and having a bunch of pissed off bees running around. They will, eventually, find a way into the house....

 

Sometimes beekeepers can and will relocate the queen for you for free... Hives are worth $$$.

I agree that it is not necessarily a home handyman task. If you are brave and the numbers are small - do the work after dark. The bees are slow and lethargic after dark and when it is cooler. Dont plug the hole without filling the cavity with some kind of poison. They did that at my office and I ended up getting divebombed at my desk by bees for weeks. They blocked the way out and they found dozens of ways in...

 

UPDATE:

We tried to spray into the hole twice but no luck. My gf called the Man and he came out. For $150, he first went up into the attic to check for bees ($130 right there), sprayed 2 holes ($15) and sprayed around the house ($5).

Couldn't pay me enuf to go into a griffin dark attic to see if there are bees around..

 

My dad had bees under his fence. I used a leftover mortar from the 4th of july and some gasoline. After the smoke cleared the bees were gone.

 

Paul Sr did something like that on American Chopper. No mortar, but he
threw gasoline on a hive and lit on camera. HELLA FUNNY!!!!

I dont even want to know what kind of damage the motar did!!!

 

My gf would be so thrilled if I poured gas into the siding and flamed away...

 

I have pics, lemme find them.
