can anyone help me with a bee problem?

i have these huge black and yellow hairy bees living in the eaves of my garage and they are very very agressive...so agressive that i cannot even get up on a ladder and look for the nest. Anyone have any idea on how to kill them? They are all over my yard and actually seem to want to chase us. HELP!!!!

Answers:
I had this problem in my garage and basement window. I searched online and found that they are caled carpenter bees. Look into it and compare wiht a pic to see if these are it. They won't sting you by the way, but they do bore into the wood and make nests. Do you see prefectly shaped holes where they buzz around?
We tried using bug killer for bees, but the holes go in deep so you couldn't really get in there. After asking at Lowe's they told me these bees normally hive where the wood is softer and unpainted. I painted the bsement window and garage, first I put toilet tissue into the hole so the bees would not get out and they have not been back since.
If i did this right the link below should show you images.

ask your local pest controller but i dont think they are allowed to kill bees, although he might know a bee keeper who might be able to help.

Look in Yellow pages for bee keepers they could advise you.

I'm going to be watching the answers you get. I've been having the same problem! Huge, hairy, aggressive bees! I hate using chemicals (I have cats) and chemicals make me sick(er). Thanks for raising the question!!

Any natural remedies??? (I'll use this forum to get two points and not spend five! Thanks!) :D

... I've been calling these guys "hornets". I did some research on them (some time ago), but forgot what I learned... Maybe that's what I'll do right now...


[Edit] Someone asked the same question about four hours ago. Someone replied with the two websites below. I visited each. One identifies bees; the other gives information about killing and control. Sevin & Dursban can be purchased at garden centers. (They are really strong chemicals - be careful.) The one article also gives other control info. Hope this helps...
