Best way to remove a bees nest on my own?
Question:This is under a bush near my deck
Answers:
The first thing to do is waiting until after dark as this will ensure all the bees are in the nest and not out roaming and the possibiltiy of one sneaking up behind you and getting you. Then depending on what kind of bees the nest is for. If it is just a standard wasp nest that is open where you can see the holes where the larvae are then just use some spray and spray the entire nest soaking it good and this will kill all the bess as well as the queen bee and any that don't get killed will leave without the queen and then the next day you can simply knock the nest down with a broom and despose of it. Note if you don't have bee spray charcoal lighter fluid works as well as any bee spray and is a cheap alternative in most cases. If it is a hornets nest and is a gray mass where you can see the inside you still need to wait unti agter dark and then use a can of spray making sure to point the nozzle up into the opening in which the bees enter the nest and start spraying and don't stop for a good period of time. Then as with other nest wait unti next day to remove the nest to ensure all bees are dead or left due to the queen being dead so you don't have to worry about getting stung. Hope this helps out and works great for you.
Broom
use a rag and smoke them out. wrap the rag around a long stick or broom handle, light it and dampen it to create smoke. once they leave destroy the nest.
not sure you wanna do this..
are the bees underground?? if so, they are likely yellow jackets and if you mess with them, they will sting the HELL out of you..
call a pro..
try burning something to scare the bees away first, but be cautious that the fire doesn't spread, or simply use something that produces smoke, like cigars or something like that, cover your face to protect your self from the bees and get as far as you can from there, when they all go out use something large like a broom or something large enough, and finally do not destroy the hive there, if you want to, take it somewhere far from there and the bees will follow the scent of the hive, or if you want to destroy it do it in another place not near from there, also try using products like air scent or something like that to fool the bees
by the way, if they are killer bees, then i would suggest to get someone to do it or maybe the firefighters or a bug killer, well this is just my opinion, hope it helps
spray it with bee and wasp killer, once they are dead, spray it with a hose or use a broom handle to remove the nest, use gloves to pick it up and dispose of it. Make sure to put the nest in a bag or something and seal it up so bees dont get out and are in your garbage can or something.
I usually go with the stick & run method, the kick & run method, or the stick, kick & run method (that one is when they are up high).
Good luck!
Or you can buy some spray or call a pro like scardy cats do :-)
