Rochester MN Home Inspector Finds Bees In The Basement

Basement Bee Hive

Here’s another good reason you should make sure all exterior openings are sealed.  During the home inspection 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.

I was really impressed with how thorough Rick was in the home inspection process.  I also appreciate the time Rick took to explain his inspection findings and possible solutions to correct his findings.  Very professional!
