I live in Massachusetts and yesterday a bee flew out of my vent. There was a second one today and with the temp only at 33 degrees, this worries me a little that bees are flying!!! My concern is that there may be a nest in my attic, if I locate it, can I spray the next in winter? or do I need to wait until Spring?
thanks:(

Not an expert but I'd say spray it! I bought my place in febuary but was unable to move in until december. In january the wasps starting coming out of the woodwork - we all got stung :eek: :wall:

I sprayed until we got them all. During the different stages of remodeling over the years I uncovered several large nests in the walls, fortunately they were all dead:D

Hi Rick,

If you spray, do it in the evening after they are all settled down and quiet. Have an escape route planned and someone with you that can assist with a flashlight if needed.
