4. Smoke them out with a bomb from a roadside fireworks place. It will not do any damage to your house.

6. a bucket of warm soapy water should do the trick, safely!

7. I had a similar problem. The guy I called used a Shop Vacuum. He sucked up all the bees, and removed the hive to a different location. He then opened the vacuum and the bees went right to the hive.

   Good Luck

8. put soap in a large spray bottle and spray the soap all over the nest. I would advise having a professional do it if it is a very large nest, but if it is fairly small then soapy water works great.

9. The only way to remove a beehive is to call a bee keeper. We are losing enough beehives to insecticides all ready without doing it on purpose.
