I have bees inside of exterior brick wall. They are coming/going from <br>
the spaces between bricks. Anyone had this? And, how did you get rid <br>
of them?<br>
<br>
- University of YouTube and Google AI say to use "insecticide dust". I <br>
couldn't find anything for bees locally, so I bought "ant killing <br>
powder" from Canadian Tire. It's been 3 days. Bees are still actively <br>
flying about.<br>
<br>
- I may have to resort to chemical spray. There are 2 types of spray: <br>
liquid and foam. Is "foam" better for bees inside brick wall?<br>
<br>
