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.
How do you kill bees under siding.
If you do hire an exterminator make sure that you remove all the dead bees and all of the nest.
Eventually all the bees will be dead due to the spread of the powder.
You do not want to get stung by 500 bees because you didn t have the right gear.
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.
Follow where they seem to disappear into the side of your house.
But perhaps you have decided that these particular bees need to be eliminated.
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.
Exterminators usually only kill bees and will not remove the nest itself or the dead bees so keep this in mind.
The bees will get stuck in the small amount of syrup but won t drown.
Basically just make it an undesirable place to live and they will leav.
This can only safely be done by a beekeeper though.
If you want to get rid of bees the preferred choice is to relocate bees.
The first thing you ll have to do of course is to locate the nest or nests.
Remember if any traces of honeycomb are left behind the rotting honey will emit a foul odor.
Additionally while honeybees and bumblebees are excellent pollinators yellow jackets are somewhat less so.
My house has vinyl siding.
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.
This is the simplest way to get bees to leave a hive that they have started in a home.
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.
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.
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.
It s probably not the front door remember bees don t have.
If possible mark off any entrance holes you find so that you can easily identify them later.
If the breed you are trying to kill has a queen bee she will also die.
Locate the entrance through which the bees are entering your siding.
Typically bees are also much less aggressive than yellow jackets.
