Removing a honeybee colony from within walls is tricky because. I also saw them squeeze through the grout lines where the siding overlapped the brick. Basically just make it an undesirable place to live and they will leav. Even though a hive nestled inside the wood aluminum or vinyl siding is hard to actually reach these are in fact some of the easiest and safest types of nests to get rid of because they require no contact.

I ve also had one get in the house as i was going in the door. Honeybees were entering through holes around trim and in the corners by windows. My house has vinyl siding. It s probably not the front door remember bees don t have.

This is the simplest way to get bees to leave a hive that they have started in a home. But for me to get the job done i use a bee vac an alternate power source such as a auto inverter or a generator to run my saws and bee vac a saws all a good bee suit containers for the brood and honey not to mention demolition equipment. Neutralization is the complete removal process of the bees comb and honey from within the walls with as little damage as possible. This affects bee removal cost the most.

The first thing you ll have to do of course is to locate the nest or nests. If you see a honey bee in the united states you ll be looking at the european honey bee.

Chances are unless you have x ray vision you won t know exactly where they are but you can take a clue from your six legged friends. Common places for bees to hide and build nests include overhangs cracks window frames shutters door frames and underneath the siding. Minimally you will need a smoker a bee suit gloves and tools to remove whatever is covering the bees. Some honey bees look black too.

Where the siding meets the concrete foundation of the house bees are going up there and i assume they re building a hive of some sort. The honey bee is one half to three fourths an inch in length.
