    Live in a 3 story house. On the side, there is a very small beehive hanging off the roof.

    Had pest control over for a routine spraying and they noticed it. Said I should get rid of it myself before it gets bigger. If they come out it would be $300-$400 to knock it out and they can always come back.

    Said I should get on a ladder and just spray the thing with water. Umm...

    A. I am afraid of heights
    B. I am afraid of freakin bees!

    Any suggestions? I've been looking for something that can spray water 50 feet, but so far no luck.

    Call Billy, or someone like him. I think he sprays them with soapy water or something.

    first google answer:

    "Use 10 % seven dust at the mouth or entrance. Just a hand full will suffocate an entire hive. If it is inside the walls or under a patio you can make a bomb launcher with a piece of PVC pipe and an air hose. Once it sticks to them, they carry it to the rest of the hive. The dust will make a trail behind them as they fly away. They don't fly far. This is a good tip I've learned living in West Texas with Africanized bees. The whole hive will be dead within an hour, and its good family fun too"

    Good luck!
