So a bunch of bees have decided to make a hive in my front door. I don't want to spend alot of money on a extinguisher, or a bunch of bee killer. What is a natural bee repelant/ killer that i can use without ruining my door?

    Good luck, and don't get stung. I was stung in the mouth once- really bad experience- cover up when you go out 'cause they'll get 'cha.

    : ) Happy trails.  


  2. n order to get rid of bees, you’ll have to find their nest. Because bees are diurnal (day dwelling) insects, it’s easier to find their nests at the beginning of dusk when the sun starts to set, or late dawn when the sun starts to rise. This is when you’ll notice the shimmer of wings in the twilight moving towards one particular area. Often times you’ll see a whole cloud of them surrounding a hive as they make their way indoors or outdoors.  

    If you want to get rid of bees, you’re going to have to kill the bees. Spraying RAID into the nest is your best bet. This should be done in the evening, or in the dark, whichever is your preference. Dressing up in sweats with elastic bands with thick socks and gloves would be a good idea if you don’t want to risk being stung. I would recommend a face mask if you’re paranoid, but you may want to spare your neighbors the confusion of seeing a thief armed with an aerosol can in your backyard.

    To make sure you really do get rid of the bees, spray the nest once more during the following evening. You should probably keep your eyes on the nest during dusk or dawn to see whether or not there is any traffic going to or from the bee nest. If you don’t see any bees, then chances are you did the job right. If you do see bees, do what I told you and spray the bee nest one more time, and check the following morning to make sure you got rid of the bees for good.

    Once you’re certain the bees are dead, it’s time to get rid of the bee nest. You don't want this nest to be reclaimed by different bees later in the season. To be certain you avoid the risk of being stung, dress yourself in your silly looking sweats again—sweats work well because the thickness provides a buffer between your skin and their stinger—and go knock that nest down. If it’s a nest in the ground, make sure to fill the hole you found it in. If it’s a nest in your siding, you may have to call a professional to have it removed.

    Almost every time I or others have had to get rid of bees, it was done with Raid. Certainly, Raid is not a good thing to be spraying around the house, but I trust Raid as a brand name pesticide and bee control poison. There are other ways to get rid of bees; for instance, boric acid (otherwise known as Borax, often sold as a fine powder) is a slow, but certain remedy for killing bees that have made a nest in your siding. The reason for using Borax dust is because sprays may not reach the hive, if they’ve built the nest far enough into the wall. Borax works with bees much the same way it works with ants. The bees get the dust on themselves and they bring it back into the nest with them, eventually poisoning the entire colony. Other pesticide dusts can be found under the names Sevin and Apicide. Other bee killing pesticide sprays are: Microcare and Baygon.
