I just got out of the shower around 5:45pm today and heard this loud buzzing sound. I thought perhaps it was a neighbor and his trimmer, but then I listened and I knew it was insects. I thought one was inside behind the window blinds but no luck. As I listened to the window I heard a loud buzzing above it where the ceiling angles inward. Either wasps or bees are apparently INSIDE the wall! This is a second story window, and the window does not open.
Man, that buzzing is pretty loud. It went for about 30 seconds, then stops for 30 seconds, then the cycle repeats. Very aggressive sounding buzzing. Very creepy. Now that it is night time there is no noise but I know they will be active again tomorrow.
I guess I need to call an exeterminator - ABC Pest Control? I am also thinking I could cut a square out of the drywall and spray it myself, but I don't know.
Anyone else treat something like this themselves?
I went outside and looked and looked but I don't see anything there. There have been a few nests around my home however. I sprayed one today just outside my door - very productive those yellow jackets are!
Don;t try it yourself. Wait till morning and watch the area from outside where you heard it. You will see the bees going in and out...if it is bees. That way you know where the opening is located. Call a bee exterminator and maybe the exterminator can just move them...not kill them.
In any case, do not try it yourself. Depending on where you live, they could be Africanized bees. they hurt bad!!!!!!
Thanks! I will watch tomorrow. I will also call an exterminator. I read online that if it is bees that there could be honey inside which needs to be removed or it will rot.

Not sure that sounds like a hive. Could be a single carpenter bee. You could use a finishing nail to poke through the drywall, and then use a spray with a tube.
Thanks Harry. I was thinking the same thing this morning! I recall that this buzzing seemed from a single source as it shifted back and forth about a foot (perhaps between the studs).
Hey, I have a similar problem. My house is only 1 story. I have a very very loud buzzing noize at my kitchen window. Nothing else does this in the house. Just this kitchen window. It vibrates the entire wall and all windows on that side of the house. I have looked inside and out and found nothing. It doesnt happen early in the morning. Starts in the evening around 5 or 6 and does it randomly until about 3 or 4 in the morning. Anyone have any thoughts on this?? I seen that there was talk about bugs or bees in general and I have not seen any bees around here since summer. I have seen a few jumping spiders and a few stink bugs recently...This has been going on for about a month maybe more....thanks for reading.
Do you have faux shutters or something similar outside the window? Wasps have a favorite place outside my windows where I have faux shutters. It sounds like they are inside the walls because the buzzing is so loud. However, they are on the outside, but behind the shutter, and the vibrations carry through.
I just spray some wasp spray there and they go away. They come back a lot because I think that is their favorite place :-)
I never heard of a stink bug until we bought this house, I’m so freaked out I want to move! It is January 1st and I find at least four stink bugs in my house each day. I now hear this horrible buzzing sound at night in my wall by the window, do they get in your walls and make a loud buzzing sound, if so, I’m out of here! I literally sleep with a hoodie on my head because they seem to be more “in your face” at night. Can I get rid of them quickly, HELP!
From what little I have heard, if there is a nest......you must both kill or remove all bees and remove the all of the nest, or it will act as a very strong attractant for more bees to come and take-up residence.
