Btw, if anyone knows of a local retailer that sells a powder insecticide duster, please let me know.

Try bug and weed stores.

Yeah, I've try to look at home depot/Lowes online & don't see a powder duster. I can order one online but would prefer to deal with this first thing tomorrow morning. I don't wanna have to cut out a 4x4 piece of stucco.

I drilled some 1" holes in the stucco & wood already. I just hope i can get to them with the duster without have to take out & replace large sections of stucco.

Hey we won a game.

BTW, this is what I'v been doing all day. This was about 25-30 pounds of honey/honeycomb.

God damn, Mike. How did you get them out of your wall?

 

[Jonas_steven]

Dammit, mike! You clearly had to remove the stucco! That is quite the hive!

Back in Illinois, I had a hornet's nest that weighed close to 20 pounds. I ended up throwing a bunch of rocks at it to stun the bees then stomp on them after they fell. Good times!

God damn, Mike. How did you get them out of your wall?

There were in one of the columns that border the big living room window.

I used masonry drill bits & drilled 4 1" inch holes in the wall about vertically about a foot apart starting about 3 feet from to ground. Then I use a whole can of Spectracide Terminate foam spray in the holes. That pretty much killed or sent most of the bees & their queen fleeing. I relaxed for about an to let the foam spray do it's job. Then I made the wholes a little bigger looking for the honeycomb hive. Once I found the bottom of the hive, I started at the top & did the same till I found the top of the hive. From there I took a hammer & destroyed the stucco where the hive was. I sprayed down the honeycomb again.

After another short break , we(my brother & me) pulled out the honeycombs out by hand. The lighter ones were a stick mushy mess filled with honey. Once the entire column was hive free, cleaned it & sprayed it down again the foam. Then we attached the weatherproof paper & repaired the chicken wire. Then we started layering on the new stucco. I only have 1 layer on right now waiting for it to dry. I might put 2-3 more layers on till I get nice & thick at about 1"

Keep in mind that the whole time we were working there were probably 10+ flying around us at all time till we started applying the stucco.

All in all it only cost me $70 in supplies to do this job. It would have cost me $250-400 plus repairs to have a pro come out & do it.

Here is me covered from head to toe spraying the foam into the holes I drilled.

Fuck hornets, I might not have messed with them & had a pro do it if it was hornets.
