That gasoline will get them good and that's the way I always get rid of them. Just wait until late in the evening when they all go down into the nest and the only ones you might see the next morning will be ones that hadn't made it back in.

Ahhhh, never heard that one before. Figured you were lighting them up not using the gas as a poison. Seen folks using Kerosene down the hole and lighting them up.

In an enclosed stand use a total release fogger.
Then I apply a residual insecticide to the interior walls.
Some of the more effective insecticides used by professionals include Demand (lambda cyhalothrin), Suspend (deltamethrin), Talstar (bifenthrin) and Tempo (cyfluthrin). Effective over-the-counter versions of these products include Spectracide Triazicide, Bayer Advanced Powerforce Multi-Insect Killer, and Ortho Home Defense Max. Purchasing these products in concentrated (dilutable) form will allow larger volumes of material to be applied with a pump-up garden sprayer or hose-end sprayer.

I do this in the summer way before season and treat twice.

As a bee keeper I get a lot of calls every year to remove the bees, People don't know the difference between bees hornets or wasp.
We charge a service call fee of $25.00 for a 25 mile radius and $10.00 per mile after that.
We do the twenty questions before we do any thing and if the person on the other end of the phone know a little we can tell if they are honey bees or other like wasp or hornet.
I talk people thru getting rid of them but some still want me to come and do it. We charge a flat rate of $300.00 to do so. I make about $1200.00 a year on average.
I only use Spectracide Pro Wasp and Hornet spray. works from 25 feet away and is a contact killer for up to 4 weeks if not washed down. We also remove the nest from the property.
Also doing the deed at dusk is best. Day break is ok but not as good

We've got honey bees in the wall of our cabin... Don't want them there, but hate to kill them off.

something you may try to prevent the nests to begin with, go to do your own pest control.com, order a quart of 36.8% permethrin, mix it 1.5 oz/gal of water and spray the inside of your stand weekly, it will kill anything with 6 or 8 legs and is extremely toxic to bees, so be careful around honeybees.

Talked to a local guy but it's in the wall at the peak of the 2nd story. He didn't want to climb up there. Gonna try a few other people I've been told about in the area though.
