I have noticed bees are building a nest somewhere either below my deck or in a wall. How do I get rid of them

Question

Sadly, the nest is not visible and we are not sure where it is, all we know is we see bees entering on the deck beside the wall. What can we use to kill them?

Answer 1

Killing them is not enough. Any honey in the wall will simply attract more. You must find the hive and remove it and the bees at the same time. If you are sure that they have not been there more than a few days you might be able to seal of the hive and not remove it, but if there is anyway to get into where the hive is you are just creating more problems.

Call a beekeeper. It is safer and easier. It can also be cheaper in the long run.

Can we say "killer bees!"

Answer 2

Call in a professional. They have the equipment to trace the nest, smoke out the bees and remove the nest. It is very difficult to kill bees - and the queen will have already laid hundreds of eggs which will hatch out even if every bee in the nest today was wiped out. You really do need professional help to solve this problem.
