How Do You Kill Bees Under Siding

My house has vinyl siding.

How do you kill bees under siding. I ve also had one get in the house as i was going in the door. Take note of where the bees are entering and exiting your house. You do not want to get stung by 500 bees because you didn t have the right gear. If you do hire an exterminator make sure that you remove all the dead bees and all of the nest.

Observe the bees during the afternoon as that is the most active time of day for yellow jackets. They do not often visit flowers and their exteriors are much less hairy than that of bees meaning they neither pick up nor spread much pollen except incidentally. Locate the entrance through which the bees are entering your siding. As the bees travel in and out of the nests they will carry the insecticide powder you sprayed at the entry point to other bees in the nest.

Where the siding meets the concrete foundation of the house bees are going up there and i assume they re building a hive of some sort. It s probably not the front door remember bees don t have. But perhaps you have decided that these particular bees need to be eliminated. Basically just make it an undesirable place to live and they will leav.

The first thing you ll have to do of course is to locate the nest or nests. Exterminators usually only kill bees and will not remove the nest itself or the dead bees so keep this in mind. While it isn t encouraged to use a trap that kills bees you can add enough liquid to drown them you feel it s truly necessary. Follow where they seem to disappear into the side of your house.

Eventually all the bees will be dead due to the spread of the powder. If the breed you are trying to kill has a queen bee she will also die. This diy trap offers a no kill solution so you ll have to check the trap daily and carefully remove the bees away from your home. This can only safely be done by a beekeeper though.

Typically bees are also much less aggressive than yellow jackets. The bees will get stuck in the small amount of syrup but won t drown. They aren t aggressive but this is happening right by the most used door of the house so it s probably just a matter of time before i piss them off. Additionally while honeybees and bumblebees are excellent pollinators yellow jackets are somewhat less so.

This is the simplest way to get bees to leave a hive that they have started in a home. Chances are unless you have x ray vision you won t know exactly where they are but you can take a clue from your six legged friends.
