Bees keep going under the siding of the front of my house trying to start a hive. Last year it got bad and several kept getting in the house. I used peppermint oil and have not seen any yet. But I am worried that they may come back. I need that not to happen. Please help!!!

If you were successful with the peppermint oil, I'd do it again this year. Also think about planting mint that smells like peppermint in and around the house. Good luck.
My friend tapes a brown paper bag on the outside of the house. She claims the bees have all left. I need to try this myself!
Spray just before dark when the bees settle for the night. Best to have an exterminator
do the job. It is a one time job
caulk the area where they are getting in; if it's vinyl siding the caulk comes in colors - if not get a 'paintable' caulk.
