    Please don't do this. It may be easy, but it's not best. You're going to be left with comb full of baby bees and stores that will rot in the wall and attract not only more honey bees, but lots of other critters. As the uncured honey ferments, it will bubble out and ruin any drywall and insulation it comes in contact with. Not the easiest, but the best way is to physically remove the hive. You have to remove part of the structure to access the hive, but it's worth it. If the hive is unaccessible for any reason, a trap-out can be performed. It takes about three months to gradually trap all the bees, and is finished by bringing in another hive to rob out all the stores. Then the building needs to be sealed. Stop poisoning yourself and the bees. Call a beekeeper. A high school with a beekeeping program may be interested in performing a trap-out for nothing.

    Your first spray was PT 565. What was your outside spray?

    You also have to seal the entries or holes on the structure cause about 100,000 bees will be returning to try to enter this wall void. Usually a second treatment ever third treatment is required.

    The 565 is essentially another labeled product known as โ€œWasp freezeโ€
  • 0:51 - "You want to hit them with some kind of spray". Are we supposed the guess the type of spray? I guess that I'll just use some gasoline.
  • Will this work on carpenter bees? Not sure if it is honeybees or carpenter bees. Got rid of them 25 years ago and hired a Pro ($250.00 ). Suddenly back. Too expensive now and need to do it on my own. Thank you for any information. Be well.

    Great video. Thanks! Tried that Delta Dust first and at first it didn't seem to be doing anything but maybe it was. In any case very slow acting. That PT 565 really did the trick. One I got came with a narrow straw sprayer which seemed helpful. Not so nasty as the wasp spray. I wondered, too, about your follow-up material, but I was able to clear out the whole hive, so ultimately didn't need it. Were in a old utility box out back - fortunately not a wall! Bee suit was worthwhile investment.
  • The smell of the dead brood had to be horrendous. Probably about ten pounds worth of decaying bee carcasses and fermented, inedible honey poison.
  • It is 5:53 AM MST in Southern Arizona. I am about to do battle with a hive of wild Bees in a little more than an hour. The Bees are under the edge of my neighbor's mobile home. The man is disabled and can't get rid of them. Neither he nor I can afford an exterminator. I do have a Bee Suit I am going to wear when I do this. My plan is to saturate the hive with insecticide. Hopefully this will get rid of them. If I can manage to kill the Queen, the all the better. The thing that worries me most is that the remnants of the hive will relocate somewhere else and cause havoc to someone else. I do not suffer from Anaphylaxis, however, there is still a really big risk involved. I warned everyone on the property 48 hours in advance as to my intentions. Hopefully my efforts will pay off and go without a hitch. I have never gone after Bees like this before. I am as nervous as a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs right now. Now there are some who will read my response and say that I am crazy for doing something like that. I am doing what I have to do, not what I want to do. Anyone who reads my response, PLEASE pray for me. I am going to need all the prayers I can get.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

    Do you add a pyrethrin with bifenthrin for added knockdown? If you had a choice. Which would it be hands down with wasp? Cypermethrin Bifenthrin Cyfluthrin Fipronil Thanks in advance
  • @sudhag24
    I tried with mosquito repellent today. All the bees are gone.
  • @jgonzalez2656
    You can call a bee keeper. However, these bees are inside the structure. It will be expensive to make a hole and patch it back up.

    I would have dusted the void and spray the exterior with the B&G
