Get rid of bees and Duct Tape ...

Posted by btr Sat, 28 Aug 2004 19:09:50 GMT

How do you get rid of bees?

There’s a bee nest inside the siding right below the gutter in my house. I have used those jet sprays to kill the bees with some success, but it can not get rid of them. It looks like the insecticide concentration is not high enough to kill the bees on contact as advertised. The bees would be killed only if they were covered with the chemicals, which is hard since they do not stay still near the nest.

I have used duct tape to cover the nest, but they managed to get in and out after a few days when the tape became loose. I did find out that the tape did trap a lot of bees when I replaced with new tapes.

I will keep using duct tape until the bees are gone or I find something better.

The latest market cap score: XOM $408.5B, AAPL $374.8B.
