Bees In The Basement

Durgin 002

Here’s another good reason you should make sure all exterior openings are sealed.  I usually discuss with my clients the importance of making sure that all exterior openings are sealed so that moisture and insects can not infiltrate. 

This home had been sitting empty for quite a while.  The bees found a way in through a disconnected dryer vent and built quite a large nest.  Lucky for me, someone has smoke bombed the place and killed all of the bees…. there were hundreds of dead bees throughout the home, mainly in the basement.

All in all you did a great job. You made us feel at ease and not nervous. Did an awesome job pointing out problems, and GOOD things about the house. I loved the photographs of problem spots.
