How to get rid of bees

  1. Contact Bee Safe Bee Removal Specialists. With a drastic decline in the population of honey bees, this will preserve the bee population and solve your problem.
  2. Identify the bees. Make sure you are dealing with bees in the first place. Hornets, Wasps, and Yellow Jackets all have similar markings to bees. While hornets and yellow jackets can be dealt with on a one-to-one basis, bees and wasps will require removing the beehive or nest. In addition, if you are dealing with Africanized (killer) bees, it is strongly advised that you contact professionals.
  3. Locate the bee hive. The best time to do this is when the sun is setting or rising. This will not only help you see the bees, but bees will often swarm around the nest before flying off to find food.
  4. Killing bees in the sidings of buildings. While this is not an extra step, it should be noted that in order to kill bees that have built a nest in the walls of building, it is recommended that you use a powder-based insecticide instead. Spray may not reach the inside of the nest completely. By using a powder-based insecticide, the bees will track in the powder and spread it throughout the entire colony.
  5. Repeat spraying the bees. You should continue to spray the nest until all bees are dead. This step may take a few days to kill all of the bees.
  6. Remove the bee hive. To ensure that the nest is not repopulated with bees again. Remove the nest. If the nest is in a tree, simply knock it down. Nests located in the ground should be filed in and covered with dirt. For nests that are in the side of buildings or other similar places, you should contact a professional to remove the nest completely.
