Bees in my wall what do I do?

Question

This morning my hubby heard some moving around in our bedroom wall. so he went outside to look from the outside of the house and seed bees flying from a hole that is on the outside of the house. if you look at the wall from the inside, you can tell they have eaten the drywall up and the only thing covering it it is the wallpaper. the hole is about the size of a persons fist. so i guess my question is will this wallpaper last til monday til we get someone out here and/or what can we do about it right now? any help please

Don't plug the hole, that is their only way out.  Go to hardware, or home depot, they have a hornet killer spray.  Best time to hit it is at night.  Spray into the hole,  douse it hard.  Hit it again tomorrow.  You won't need an exterminator.  You will probably have to repair the drywall, and paint or repaper the wall.  When you know bees or hornet are dead.  Then plug the hole with caulking.

Had the same problem, only thing if they are honey bees only a bee keeper can get them, otherwise, an exterminator will make a tiny hole in drywall and spray in bug killer, sounds like water running doesnt it.

When that happened to me I just plugged the hole from the outside.  I hated to do it because the bees inside must have died, but it did the trick.
