great, a bee hive at my front door...

[PlayerOne]

i have recently discovered this little blob, didn't know what it was, but there were 3 bees that constant hovered around it, I thought it might be a bee hive being born, but i rejected that thought cuz it's at the weirdest location. I have this owl thing hanging beside my front door, which has three small bells hanging off of it, the bee choose to hang its home off of one of those bells.

anyhow, i would like to get rid of it before it gets any worse, it's tiny right now, but growing is visible

any ideas?
i'll post pic later

fire is supposed to be the best bee repelent..but you mind end up hurting you or burning the house...better called the insect repellant squad

They're probably not bees, but wasps. Which are generally ill humoured.

You can get a can of wasp killer at Cdn Tire or Walmart, etc. It'll let you zap them from a safe distance of eight feet or more.

Fire is not a good idea. Something good and smoky will make the bugs dopey so you can kill them. They're also less active at night or in the cold and are easier to deal with then. But its just easier to spray 'em dead.

I had a beehive last summer too but it was in my chimney if you guys remember the thread I made. Everyday I found 10 bees in my house so finally I brought in the big guys and they sprayed some stuff in there and about 300 bees, an estimate from that guy, were falling dead all over my lawn. Boy was it a sight watching them hover around falling to the floor and then I went out and stepped on some :lol: .

Spray their hive with water from 10-15 feet away. That's how I got rid of the problem.

You can buy a spray can of wasp killer and spray the hive entrance. The material will harden quickly. This will seal off the entrance and poison or starve the critters inside.

especially if the hive is still relatively small, this is a good idea. my boyfriend has this problem every year and just sprays the hive with a hose. just make sure to stand clear.

When I was younger (12-13) I found this lil hole in the bricks outside my house, and wasps were flying in and out. So like the lil runt that i was, i ran inside and grabbed the windex. Sprayed some in the hole, and all the wasps came pouring out. At first I was scared, but as soon as they left the hole, they flew strait into the wall then hit the ground. Windex seems to have a paralizing affect on bees.

About (7 or 8) of years back I had a bee hive developing in a wooden crack in my front door. The wood is basically a barrier type thing to isolate the concrete steps from the lawn. What we did was we waited till night time (~9pm) and sealed the bugs out with some sealant foam. That way they couldnt get out, have never seen them again

spray the wasp killer or whatever during the morning or at night when the bee/wasp is in the hive

I found a wasp's nest last year in my BBQ....opened it up and it was hanging off a little wire shelf for cooking veggies. Closed it, turned it on, problem solved.

I had another problem with a wasp's nest prior to that though...much bigger nest hanging off a tree branch. I crept up to it and hit it with a broom, then hauled ***** back inside. Problem was, the broom didn't knock the nest off the branch, it got stuck in it, and it made them very, very angry. I figured I'd wait a few hours for them to calm down and leave, and then remove the broom and get rid of the rest of the nest.

When I came back, the wasps were still swarming around the nest and the offending broom....I think the queen was still inside the nest, and they weren't leaving it alone, so I hit it with the high pressure setting on the hose. I think that if you don't totally destroy the nest, they'll keep trying to come back. Something to keep in mind if you try any of the above methods.

Also, keep in mind that wasps are much different from bees. Bees have a barbed stinger, and can generally only sting you once...leaving the stinger embedded in your skin. Painful, but it means they can only sting you once each. Wasps have smooth stingers, so even if they release their venom in the first sting, they can keep stinging you as much as they want....extremely unpleasant, so be careful when you're dealing with them. If you're allergic, better keep an epi-pen close by or better yet, let someone else do it while you watch from a safe distance.

There was one bee or wasp making a tiny hive thing in my garage door. I had to leave home that day right the way. When I came back, that bee/wasp left. I took some picture and knock it down afterward. The size of the bee/wasp was bigger than that hive.

Get a pro to take it down. I had one nestled in where the aluminum siding meets the gutters/roof. I would have needed a 25 ft ladder and balls of steel to climb.

Instead, I paid about 90$ to have a pro come by. They normally will come after 9pm, they wait for the bees/wasps to settle in the hive for the evening. They then spray some sort of foam that kills everything off. Guy got stung 5-6 times, but he seemed pretty used to it.

I don't think PlayerOne has a real hive problem. It is just a tiny thing and probably can't even house a bee. He does not need a pro unless he really allows that to happen in his front door.
