When you rubber band the brood comb into frames, use only the brood. DO NOT put the honey and pollen in frames other than what is unavoidable.

Spraying with bee quick VERY temporary. Like a few hours. Once all bees and comb is out, stuff the cavity with insulation, or another swarm will enter shortly.

Insulation, that is actually a great idea.  Make the space undesirable.
