How do we get rid of this infestation?

We have a house that we are rehabbing and it has an African Killer Bee infestation in the attic. It's a small attic and the person we hired can't actually see the nest, but there's definitely a huge amount of bees. They sprayed 22 days ago and claimed it would take a max of 10 days for all of the bees to die. 10 days came and went and the bees were still there. They came out and sprayed again, with the same 10 day story and now we are on day 22 and the bees are still alive and kicking. Does anyone have experience with bee infestations? If so, how long should this take? And any ideas on how to actually get rid of them? Maybe it's time to find a new company?

Find a new company.  After the chemical, a powder, is applied it takes 2-3 days for a complete kill.  Be aware, the honey combs must be removed and the area treated, or other bees will be attracted to it and recolonize.
