How can you get rid of bees in the chimmney?

Answer 1

I think you can use smoke, I'm pretty sure they dislike that.
You need to buy a special spray or foam that kills/suffocates the bees first.

Spray this into the nest, or fill up the whole nest with the foam.

Then, once they are definitely dead, you can remove the nest.

If you are not sure, it is best to get a professional pest controller in.

Answer 2

First of all DO NOT start a fire in the fireplace to drive the bees out. The bees could have damaged the lining of the fireplace creating a home fire hazard or created a nest that is blocking the flue and this will back smoke up into the house.

Step 1. Install a chimney balloon or inflatable damper at the bottom of the fireplace to seal the fireplace tight and prevent the bees from gaining entry to the home. Don't trust your damper to stop them since it is likely that your damper does not have a tight enough seal to keep mad and determined bees out of your home.

Step 2. Use a bug fogger spray bomb to kill the bees in the chimney if the hive is not visible from the chimney top. If it is visible than you can use a direct spray insecticide to kill the bees. keep your distance from the hive on this step and have an escape route ready.

Step 3. Have a certified chimney sweep come and clean your chimney so the bees do not return to a hive and to make sure the bees did no structural damage to the chimney. This is very important since the hive can be a fire hazard and MUST be removed.

Insecticides that can legally be sprayed into a fireplace are hard to come by. Read the label. You may find that no insecticide for this purpose is legally available.

You could call an exterminator.If he can't fix it you could spread honey somewhere else and it might attract some of them. ANOTHER OPTION: Just start a fire. let it burn for an hour or so, repeat as needed. If you do this in the summertime, I would suggest late at night when its the coolest. the heat will destroy the nest and you may get lucky and kill the queen the first try. Be careful if any bees/wasps fall back into the fireplace as even a dead bee or wasp can still sting you. Use leather gloves if needed.

Considering the dangers of Africanized bees, you would be well advised to hire a local firm which specializes in bee removal. They can clear the entire hive without the bees going after them. Some may be able to relocate the hive, if that is important to you. In addition, there may be a large amount of hive wax and honey to be removed, which could turn into quite a job. Also, they may be able to suggest ways to prevent its happening again.
