Hi, looking for thoughts.
A swarm has recently (7 days max) rehomed itself in the roof/cavity of a house near where we have some hives. Might be ours might not but we want to help resolve.
They have multiple entrances through a significant cracks in the wet verge along the roof. Once in the fabric of the building there's a list of inaccessible places they could be (sealed loft etc) but some have found their way into an interior room.
The householder isn't up for any option eg cut out, that damages the building.
I can't see any option beyond euthanasia via insecticide powder at the entrances but interested to hear thoughts.
Thanks
