Just within the past few days, an annoying humming/buzzing has been occurring on the bottom corner wall of our living room. I immediately thought it was electrical in nature. After trying a few things, I eventually turned the electrical breaker to the house off. To my surprise, the humming/buzzing is still happening. So now my mind is in a pretzel thinkings it’s not electrical.

Anyway, there are a few other important details: it is an outside wall. The electrical comes in from that wall to the house but it is not directly adjacent to the humming/buzzing section of the wall. The A/C unit is also on the outside of that wall.

I went to the basement as well to see if I could pinpoint the issue but directly under where the humming/buzzing would be I hear absolutely nothing.

Any thoughts from anyone on this?

Walk outside and look for bees or wasps going in and out of your wall.

If they are honeybees, it is far preferable to call someone to come and remove them rather than to kill them.

Once they have been removed, repair of the wall should prevent a recurrence.
