Even worse than having wasps or bees in your yard is discovering them inside your home! The best way to keep these pests out of your home is to prevent them from coming in in the first place. Do this by sealing tiny cracks in your home with a waterproof caulk and patching up holes in window screens or replacing them. This pest control method is most effective during the winter or the beginning of spring before wasps become active. If you already have a wasp or bee problem, having easily accessible food waste around can exacerbate it.
These are easily available online. Many have found hairsprays to be effective against bees and wasps. But its effectiveness is dependent on brand and composition of the hairspray, and the method of application.
You can, of course, use this to chase away the ones buzzing around you. Soap sprays are one of the most common methods to instantly kill bees and wasps. Mix some detergent or liquid soap to the water and shake it well. You can even add lemon, hot peppers or peppermint to make it stronger.
Now put the mixture in a spray bottle and douse the insects around you. However, take care not to use this on an entire nest as spray bottle quantities are seldom enough for that many bees or wasps. You would risk getting stung for no reason. This is a much more humane way of killing wasps over pesticides, which not only contribute to pollution of so many kinds at so many levels but can also take hours to work, making it an extremely painful death for these beings.
This also functions as one of the best yellow jacket sprays you can make at home. However, remember that you need a spray that will work long distance because yellow jackets tend to be aggressive. You can even use this with a garden hose. But make sure to have protective gear on you.
Using a garden hose, start spraying on the nest from some distance. This is one of the messier methods though. So be very careful and do not try it unless you are absolutely confident. In a large bowl, put 2 cups of sugar, 2 cups of apple cider vinegar and a cup of water. Stir until the sugar dissolves. To this mixture, add a quarter or a half cup of liquid dish soap and stir it gently so as to prevent bubbles from forming. I have yet to hear, what I would consider, a viable mitigation plan for this potential breeding problem among southern queen breeders.
My mentor requeened a hive that was stinging a lady hanging cloths 2 yards away, these bees werent tested for AHB genes but they had to turn on the wipers to see when they drove up to the hive now thats a mean hive and he said never again, he if he ever sees another one like that it will bee a gallon of gas and a match after dark!!
But not really your call. When the bees are tested and if they turn out to be Africanized, it nevertheless will be recorded in the history books as Florida's "first" human death due to killer bees. Don't flame me also my bee keeper told me to do this but I have a bee colony behind my stone facade two stories high. I had another one in a different corner of my roof line and it took a bee keeper 6 weeks to get these critters. He said no more. So I've been spraying the hole with wasp spray and have literally emptied 8 cans into and around that opening??
Most likely the Queen is well protected from your spray attempts by "distance" Also I doubt much of the spray is getting into the heart of the nest area the brood comb area. Don't under estimate Mother Nature! Txbeeguy yahoo. Indem Sie weiterhin auf der Website surfen bzw.
