I have a beehive in one of the air vents in my house. I don't know where this vent leads to but I woke up this morning to find bees in my kitchen , bedroom and hall.
I need to get rid of the hive immediately as I have a 6 month old baby around. Where can I get an bee exterminator..............or any home products to use?

If in the US call your county extension agency. If you can't find one call your local Police dept. and ask for animal control. I'm sure some local Beekeeper will be happy to remove the swarm from your house. Fruit orchards require bees for pollination of their trees and may also be a source of info for you. Don't kill them! Relocate them!

Contact Department of Agriculture or Cooperative Extension service for beekeepers. But if you really need them out NOW!!! call an exterminator....they'll say bees in their add.
A very toxic to bees but not humans is a very thick solution of dishwashing solution, like a cup to a gallon of water. Problem is I'm not sure a typical household sprayer could propel such a thick solution. Make up a 1/4 cup soap to 1 quart and see how that goes.
Block the vents by taping paper over them.

Call the environmental health department at your local council now. They will deal with the problem and charge you £30. Do not try to deal with the problem yourself as bees can be very angry at this time of year as they know they are about to die with the onset of winter. If there are lots of them, it might be an idea to leave the house until the problem is dealt with. The council normally respond very quickly especially if there is a threat to young babies and children.

Holy crap lady!!! Get out of the house you and the baby. If that baby gets stung thats a very bad thing. Dont buy a household product call Terminix or something. If they cant help you they will know someone who can. Somebody needs to remove the beehive.

Go to a garden supply...buy a container of seven dust and a plant duster (its like a big syringe for applying pesticides)....wait until dark (the bees are inactive at night)....use the duster to coat the vent they are going in and out of...as the bees reenter they will walk thru the dust and carry it to the nest....within a day all bees will be gone

I had that problem years ago. You cannot get rid of it yourself. I tried, they just moved deeper and deeper into the cracks and vents. Look under exterminators in the phone book and get one out there. Once the exterminator left they were all gone in a day and 1/2. (It takes them all a while to die off)

Call City Vermin Control.I your area doesn't have such,look in yellow pages under exterminators or see if you can locate a bee keeper. Most will come and try to capture the hive.

First call a friend or your parents and ask if you can stay at thier house for a couple days then you and baby get the heck out of there. Get them profesionaly removed. Don't try to do it yourself.

for sure, there is something on your place killing the bees of their nest on your place, so as that they are attempting to flee. you're able to be able to desire to discover a bee keeper to discover the nest and take it away. PSIncerely(PSI like pie different than w/ S), Ness

If you're in the UK call your local council's pest department - they will come relatively quickly and don't cost very much money. Otherwise, any pest control firm.
P.S, Don't forget to ask for the honey!
