I have this block wall along my back yard.

it has about 3 egg size holes in it, with bee going in and out of those
holes.

I have gone out there at nite and sprayed the normal 10ft bee
spray but .. its not doing the trick

the spray works great with a normal hive ..but .. the little
bastards can really hide in that wall ..

anybody got any experience with this ??

thanks
mike

...

If it's all block and just a retaining wall as I surmise, just mix up
some mortar and patch up the holes.

lol .. although they are very inactive at nite .. they are not
dead .. there is still 2 or 3 "security guards" buzzin about.

my wife is real happy though .. because .. that was her suggestion


and dont get me wrong .. I will probably try that .. running up
there and splatting some mud on it.

wait . . . how about that spray insulation stuff that expands ..
do ya think that would work ?

probably wasps , they eat bugs so why kill them, the only time they
bother you is for your food. If you still want them dead get Ortho Seven
a powder, tape a cup on a pole and pour powder in their holes

Depends on what type of bee it is...some would probably be able to work
through it altho not likely a honeybee could. I doubt it would last
long, but then again, after a few months you could knock it out and do
a real patch job.

But, I'd just spray the holes first, have the mortar ready and be in
long sleeves, etc., and go to it. A few buzzing around aren't likely
to be a major hassle unless they're Africanized or a hornet or similar.
