I just joined your list to ask if anyone could help me with a problem friends are having with a bee infestation in their home. They are particularly concerned because they have a newborn baby in the house. They live in Hyde Park NY. Yesterday they found several live bees inside the house on the first floor. They found several 'holes' in the outside of the house, and can hear bees buzzing inside the walls. They called an extermination who inserted some type of dry powder in the holes. He said that the bees would eat this and die. Could anyone tell them if this is an effective treatment for getting rid of the bees? Is there any type of treatment they could use themselves if they still observe bees rather than re-calling the exterminator? Is this treatment safe to use around a newborn? They and I will very much appreciate any assistance you can give. Marianne -- Marianne Brosseau <[log in to unmask]>
