Cut out Question?

[treebee]

When doing cutouts in occupied structures, besides sealing the entrance up, what are others treating the cavities with to discourage future swarms from relocating to the cleaned out walls? Bleach? cleaners? Thanks for the thoughts John.

Try vinager.

I spray a lot of soapy water on the structure, and scrub if possible....caution to not stain anything while doing this. I have also used vinegar in the area.

Anyone try Malathion after the bees are out?
