Removing Bees Nest

[Aardvark154]

Safest easiest way to remove [Bees Nest]?

Itmeans, do you really mean a Honey bee hive or do you actually mean a wasp or hornet's nest?

For the former a nearby bee keeper will gladly take them off your hands, for the latter the recomendations about poison spray after dark are appropriate.

Carburator cleaner kills them instantly. $5 bucks a can.
Brake cleaner works too but not nearly as well.

If it's honey bees then call a bee guy, if it's mudwasps, indicated by the mud larvae nests they build, or paper wasps, they build the hives, a wasp spray can be used in the evening, after dark, the spray cans spray up to 18 feet or something. you'll need a flashlight to zero in on the opening of the hive. If it's mud wasps just aim , at night, and soak the larvae nests, usually clumped together with many others. The paper wasps I believe have a queen and therefore if it is displaced or terminated then your prob. will go away, but if it's mudwasps they'll keep coming back in one way or another. You can't get rid of them totally but you can cause them to move and slow them down.

Worked for me.

I'm surprised nobody pointed out this tactic:

Incredible and even worse, everybody is congratualating this dickhead on how he dealt with it. "Nuc those evil empire fucking bees"

So typically American.....

He could have called a local bee keeper, who would have been as happy as a pig. Bee populations for a variety of reasons are flatlining across North America. They are an essential part of the great circle of life.

I'd put my money on this being hornets or wasps. As indicated, wear a pair of coveralls, preferably white and big enough to cover everything except for your big head. You can pick a pair of disposable ones up for about $5.00 that are made for drywalling. Get a hardhat and a mosquito cap to protect your head and a pair of leather gloves and some work boots. Tape all openings or use elastic bands just to be on the safe side. If you have any history of allergic reactions to hornets or wasps, have somebody else do this or hire a qualified company. Getting repeatedly stung is no laughing matter, and are responsible for many, many deaths each in every year in Ontario. Get an Epipen. First thing in the morning is best.

Purchase some hornet and wasps blaster and start at the exit/entrance hole. Have a large plastic bag propped open and below where the nest is. Stick the probe into the nest in about 6 spots to ensure a total kill. Double bag the nest and dispose of it. Then go to Canadian Tire and pick up one of those fake Hornets nest and install it somewhere close to where the nest was removed. Any wasps that escaped or where out for an overnight will not consider setting up shop anywhere near these fake nest, they will go elsewhere (to your neighbour's backyard)
