So I opened this wall up. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/rugsr/IMG_0009-3.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/rugsr/IMG_0009-3.jpg) Going to use this wasted space for built in shelving. In the process I felt a draft. I went searching and found some gaps between 2x4s and brick …then as the light moved I found this. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/rugsr/IMG_0007-4.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/rugsr/IMG_0007-4.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/rugsr/waspnest.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/rugsr/waspnest.jpg) At first I thought a face hugger was going to jump out, then realized its a wasp nest. Its all mud. Im thinking its still active right…There probably in there trying to stay warm. Its not like they buzz south for the winter. How should I remove this: 1)call some trained pro 2)paint ball gun 3)my saw 4)drill a hole in the top and pour bleach inside What do you think ---

option 4 would probably work pretty well… we use gas when we find them in the ground… I wouldn’t pour gas onto your house though lol you could try dropping the temp in house quite a bit… and then start tearing it open with can of raid. ---

Yea the roof was replaced 4 yrs ago. That whole area is the same temp as outside so…currently its freezing in there. I gotta do something b4 it gets warmer outside. What if I cut a hole for them to escape but greet them with a few electric fly swatters sometimes I look at it and see a body laying down…maybe its a frign mummy ---

1.) fire 2.) use an air bellow to get temperature excess of 1400°F 3.) Slowly reduce the temperature to temper 4.) Scrape bees from nest 5.) Remove your new pottery 6.) Profit. ---

> [@rugsr"](#): > > So I opened this wall up. At first I was like, “You opened up your wall and found a dude trapped in there?!” 🙂 I’d probably lightly tap on the nest with a long stick and see if there is a reaction. If it starts buzzing like crazy call in a pro. Have a couple cans of that wasp/hornet spray ready. If it seems dormant after the tapping knock a hole in it. Spray it with the killer, wait a bit, repeat hole/spray routine. I’m crazy like that I guess. Leave yourself an escape plan and make sure no one else is in the house when you’re doing this.
