Now, how the hell am I going to get rid of this and this before these come back in a few months. Man, I've got a big problem on my hands.

Ummm...in that second pic...is that one giant honey comb thingy?

If that was the case...I'd put my house up for sale tomorrow and move ASAP.

I have such an irrational fear of bees and wasps I'd probably faint if I saw that IRL.

We had an infestation of yellowjackets in the wall last summer. The noise was creepy. The wall crackled.

Yes it is. And if you look to the right, just behind it you will see a hornet's nest that I know has been there over a year.

I battled these friggen little pests all summer, and pretty much lost the battle. I just waited until they left before I searched for their nest. Now I need to get rid of it, otherwise they'll be back.

I don't think that is something that an amateur should take care of themselves. Call a professional before you get someone hurt.

Bee removal service is what you need. There should be plenty available in your local phonebook(under Bees). Friend of a friend does it, they use chemicals to kill everything, then remove the comb, and repair any damage they had to make...as sometimes the bees can get inbetween the walls. It is a pain in the ass, but Id get it taken care of as quickly as possible and have the rest of your house checked out too. IMHO ;)

It took me a second to make out what they were, but DAMN! I'm squirming around just looking at those pics... I think I'd trade my left arm to get someone else to take those things out!

....

Where exactly do the bees go? Do they fly south for the winter? :p

I wasn't aware that bees made and then left nests? Infact, I don't think they do... isnt that about half the point of a nest, shelter for the winter months? lol....
