Ground Bees

Paulie

Have a bee's nest in the ground right next to entry steps. Shot a bunch of Bee killer spray the other night, didn't seem to phase them. The nest is probably way below ground were the spray can't get to.

How do you get rid of the little buggers?

Sorry about the useless picture but they get seriously pissed off if I get to close.

Whoops no pic.

There is a powder that you can get from most garden centers and maybe at the Depot. You squirt it into hole and they get covered in it going in and out. Works well

Paulie

Not much better.

Around here, that usually means yellow jackets...mean mofo's (ask the dawgs )...I've always had luck (be it 3-4 times) with sprayin' the hell outta the hive...but I could also see exactly where they were coming out of...good luck

J F

oh, and in the evenings, at dusk

There was a hive in a tree on my block.It was in the trunk but at the bottom by the roots..I came by one day and it was filled with great stuff expandable foam...No more bee hive.

Maybe I'll hit em' again in a minute, it's almost dusk up here, still got some left in the can.

...spray the hell outta 'em....and repeat tomorrow (but only after they've slowed down for the day)....after you hit 'em at dusk...wait for an hour or so...and douse the hell outta 'em again...

Paulie

Just finished draining the can when they figured out where it was coming from. I can't remember the last time I ran so fast. Dropped the can somewhere in the road while I was swatting at them. Got four stings out of the deal, wife's finding the cream as we speak. Them suckers are mean!

JumboJack

That will work if that is all there is...

not much to see, just some white cream on my neck and back now.

But now it means WAR!

You must not be using the good spray, the stuff I use will drop them in the air, as long as I don't get sissy on them and turn tail and run.
I have been stung by plenty of bees/yellow jackets/wasps/hornets. But never while in the act of killing them.

You need Malathion dust and a duster bulb.

And you need to hit them at DARK, not dusk. Load up the hole, the little suckers will do the rest themselves.
