Have anyone dealt with a bee hive inside a house wall? Exterior wall covered by siding have bees at jedi dad's rental in highland.

Man my commute was terrible. Damned dog was lying in the middle of the hall floor. I had to step OVER him to get into my office!

This should be in the First World Problems thread.

Years ago, I had yellow jackets coming into the basement and exiting through a small hole right above the foundation. I assumed they had a nest right above in the wall. I pumped a can of wasp killer into the hole and that took care of them. I saw what you describe on one of those exterminator reality shows one time but don't recall how they handled it.

Vinyl siding would be easy to access and replace. If they’re actual bees not wasps, don’t kill them, have them removed right where they rehome the hive

Was going to wait after my divorce and use some of the house funds to buy a new phone, but thanks to couch surfing between family members saved a bunch already and splurged on a new Samsung A13.

There are beekeepers that will come to help remove the bees & hive!

If they are actually bees. I have a feeling they are yellowjackets.

Pinkdragon may be right.
jedi was over that house a week ago as a shingle had fallen off on the roof and jedi helped dad repair it.

While on the roof inspecting the brick chimney something stun me. Looking online at the picture of the yellowjacket (right now) that is what it looked like. It was a single one so jedi did not think much of it.

Only one sting? Apparently the yellow jackets didn’t think much of you either!

jedi had on leather gloves so jedi suspects that is what helped. It did feel like someone had used a hot needle on the hand. Hurt to move the hand for the rest of thr day.

Some of you have heard this story, but whatever. About 6 years ago, I had gotten a bale of straw to use for mulching the tomato plants because they were getting too dry, and when I was done with it, I left half a bale in my garden wagon on the deck under the eaves in case I needed to use it again. Couple weeks later, I decided to get rid of it. I started moving the wagon and a cloud of of yellowjackets flew out of the straw and swarmed me. I could feel them stinging me even through my clothes, so I ran in the house peeling off my shirt (which may have actually gotten me stung more). I started to swell up all over, so I jumped in the car and went to the ER. They counted at least 40 stings on my arms, legs, and torso. They gave me benadryl and massive doses of prednisone. The pain and itching were horrible. I had just started a new job two days before, so I could not miss work. The itching lasted for weeks. They kept me on high doses of prednisone (80mg/day for 2-3 weeks) which eventually made me ragey and then suicidal. Since I had guns in the house, I went cold turkey off the prednisone and just dealt with it until everything cleared.

tl;dr -- yellowjackets are nothing to **** around with

This time of year yellow jackets become very territorial they are searching for food to fill up their hive look to keep those that stay alive during the Winter fed.

 

[Ballstater98]

Kid told me they have them on their school playground. Got the can of spray to take care of it when I pick him up.
