I called bee keepers, which catch alive...i didnt want to have to tear my roof open to remove the honey comb, so could not wait. Exterminator wanted 250.00I would guess you contacted an exterminating company that quoted $450.
Jason is correct in that our bee population is threatened and declining. Before killing them see if the Beekeepers Association of Southwest Florida may have some guidance for you. They have an info email address as well as addresses for the officers o their organization.
Have you tried trapping them? We have land in the mountains of NC and all the neighbors with wood houses have traps which are basically a wood board with predrilled holes that lead to a glass bottle kind of a come to the light kind of thing. They always seem to be filled with dead ones. It's because of these buggers that I have a brick house. The next one will be HardiPlank all the way around!I would try to find a solution that doesn't involve killing them all off but I do understand wanting to prevent damage to your home. I'm going through a similar dilemma right now with wood******s and my cedar siding. I've tried lots of deterrents and have patched far too many holes in my siding. That pellet gun is looking mighty tempting...
Haha. Apparently wood****** is a bad term. I'll go with DestroyerOfSiding-er from now on.
Won't you still need to get rid of the comb?I called bee keepers, which catch alive...i didnt want to have to tear my roof open to remove the honey comb, so could not wait. Exterminator wanted 250.00
