Bee swarms can make their homes in many places both expected and unexpected. You can find bees under eaves, in trees, and even in the ground. Many of these areas are fairly accessible when it’s time to remove the bees, but dealing with bees nesting in house walls is often a different story entirely.
If you have been confronted with bees nesting in your house walls, there are several things that you should NOT do:
- Close Off Entry Points Without Removing the Bees First – Don’t try to trap bees inside by plugging entry holes. This may cause the bees to die inside your walls, which can just lead to additional problems. Even more likely, the bees will simply look for new exit routes deeper inside your home and cause issues there.
- Use Pesticides or DIY Methods – Using any kind of spray or other remedy won’t resolve the problem because it leaves behind the wax and honeycomb. Not only can they cause structural damage to your home, but they may also attract new bee swarms or other pests. The only way to deal with the problem properly is to cut into the wall and remove it all—the bees, the honeycomb, and the wax.
- Avoid the Issue – Because removing bees nesting in house walls is an invasive process, some homeowners might try to ignore the problem and procrastinate on resolving it. The longer you wait to remove the bees, the larger the colony can get and the more difficult the situation will be to fix.
