    Bees in the Pelfrey

    How do you kill a bees nest???? I've been a month trying to get this sucker under the roof of the vestabule of my house. 20 cans of spray, calking, various stings - what next? Axe? Nitro? TNT? Cruise missile? Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

    Personally, if I was a bee, that picture would do it. But obviously they scare less than I would.

    A neighbor of mine had a similar problem and called a beekeeper in. He captured them all and gave them a home in one of his hives.


    Have you seen this?

    Call a pro. Bees are hardy boogers, and they will gang up on you.

    Now that that i got the obligatory call a pro thing out. I had a neighbor with a bee problem and he smoked them out. When the bees were gone he removed the hive. I can't remember what he used for smoke but it stunk. He had a lot of it going and kept it going while he removed the hive. He said he got the idea by watching a Bee Keeping documentary on TV. Worked for him. YMMV

    I strongly recommend mustard gas. Actually, in the case of a major infestation that will require major repairs, call a pro. You could put out traps but they will fill up fast, and in some cases attract more to the area. I've not had many great successes slaying these things....

    Thanks for the advice. However, I have some reservations about going to a website with the words "fagfarm" in it (wahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha). Hey, I have a friend about a half mile away who has two Civil War era cannons in his front yard. Maybe....................
