THE OTHER critter question for JasonJ.

[Boomyal]

Here is a picture of the entry? to a bee's? nest on the side of my house. I guess the critters are bees but they do not look like conventional honey types.<br /><br />You can see a small hole near the hypotenuse of the triangular confab. This is where the critters come and go from. There had been a plastic trash bin in front of this for nigh unto 18 years.<br /><br />All summer long we kept getting a few of these critters up in the skylite of the bathroom opposite this nest. I finally got up a caulked around the skylite but they kept appearing. I suspect that there is more to the nest/hive behind the siding but I don't particularly want to rip it off to see. Any suggestions as to what I might do?<br /><br />

I stand corrected EZ. Thanks for that link. tashasdaddy had mentioned Advantage in my flea post but the only thing that I came up with on a search was a Bayer product by that name that was sold by the dose by vets.
