Invasion! Help!

Well, it's the start of an invasion, at least. I noticed it today when I was watering. I took pictures from outside the house and inside the garage's attic (where I discovered really old linoleum, green shag carpet, and possibly a dog toy).


I'm not sure if the bees have only build what I can see from outside or if they have perhaps built something back into the eaves. I suspect that it's only what I see because there weren't a whole ton of bees there - yet.

uh-oh. what do you do to get rid of those?

I went to the store and bought a wasp-killing spray. I used it tonight, so we'll watch and see if they are still so busy there tomorrow or if that took care of them. Then I guess we have to actually remove the "nest" they're building. But only after I'm convinced they're dead.

Be careful! If they are bald-faced hornets instead of bees, you will need an exterminator. Isn't homeownership grand?
