They are almost always small and dead or dying.
Over the last 3 years we have had a few nests removed from our attic and gutter areas by contractors that we're doing work in those areas. The nests appeared to be dead (although at time of removal there were a few bees flying around).
Any advice on ... (Asked by mememe)

The same for the attic and leave the home until it was safe according to the instructions on the bug bombs.

How Do I get Rid of Yellow Jackets?
I have a hive in the Crawl Space of my house. We watched about 20 bees enter and 50 bees exit in a 5 minute period, so I am assuming it is a large Hive. How do I get rid of this without calling an exterminator, I can't afford what they want. Thank you for any help you can provide!

I use WD-40 to kill them. But to keep them away....don't know. Ultrasonic bug devices maybe? And I mark where they are during the day and kill them at night when I know they are all in the nest.
You could set out poison baits using fruit or spam to lure them to the poison. I would do this on a Friday when you know the kids are not going to be at the school until Monday and set the poison in areas where the kids can't get to them.
