I had one a couple of years ago and just left it alone.Come autumn they all cleared off and were never any trouble.

You need to kill the nest off.
When you say in a wall, what sort of wall, can access be got to the nest itself. I have used nest killer which is a foam spray and bagged/removed the nest. they can be huge, simply blocking the hole will mean they find another exit

Daft bugger next door thought it was a good idea to stuff some paper in the hole, and now we have gone from 2 to 3 hovering outside the nest to over a hundred now really annoyed and trying to get in.
Silly cow just tried to tackle it with an overcoat and head scarf. I told her to get back inside and we have a bee keeper on his way to sort it out. Bloody 80 year old's are a liberty! |

I feel your pain. When knocking down my shed we saw some bees hanging around and thought we must have had a hive in the shed. When I started digging up the ground under the shed, dozens of bees flooded out of the area of my pick, yes, out of the soil (I didn't even know bees nested in the ground!) They still refused to move out though, so we poured a thin layer of cement over the top!

had one in my brothers garage last summer, covered the nest and surrounding area with spray adhesive then armed with a 3 metre length of 15mm copper pipe stuffed into the middle of the nest and emptied 3 cans of wasp killer into the nest, seemed to do the trick since the ones that got away from the nest got stuck anyway slung the nest in the bonfire then
