Ok, someone here must know how to get rid of a bee's nest. My dad's house (now passed) has a huge bee's nest (not wasps, an actual bee hive thing) inside the A/C wall unit. I'm thinking about setting off a bunch of bug bombs pointed at it and hauling a$$. Next option, borax... I could sprinkle it all over the unit. I am fairly certain they are africanized just because of the area (very common in gulfport), neighbor had the same issue and they were africanized. Normally I would call a bee keeper but I don't feel like paying someone to kill them if they are africanized. I also just considered turning on the unit and jumping in my car and leaving for a few hours, but that may just blow them into the house! thanks |
Get some coveralls, gloves, boots, and over the hat mosquito net from walmart. Ductape all seams very well. Once this is done you are protected. Now get a shop vac and start sucking them up. Take apart the unit and destroy the hive. Use the vac to get all remaining bee's off of you when your done. now you have a bunch of angry bee's in a shop vac, empty a whole can of insect killer into the show vac hose. Mission complete.

| I am in the same situation as you, I have a huge hive in my cedar tree. I was told by an extension agent to have a bee guy destroy it, but he wanted $400. to come and have a look. Sprayed that expanding foam to seal them in but they just found another exit, tried wasp spray, soap ,no joy. Please be careful I got stung about 10 times attempting this. For the moment we just leave each other alone, but I know that is not a solution. |

You need a smoke machine / device, Shop-Vac vaccum cleaner and 55 gal trash can sealed at the top...
I've removed several bee-hives in my time in the past with great results... 10 years ago I used to work at a PEST Control company specializing in removing exotic species and pests... We used two smoke machines to get the bee's to consume the liquid honey getting them full, slow and lathargic... We had a 55 gallon trash can sealed completey all around with a shut off valve hole on the botton portion of the can to attach the reverse SHOP-VAC hose... We used TYVEK full body suits with head web netting for protection... The honey comb from the bee's are huge and clean ready to eat on the spot after the bee's have been removed... DO IT RIGHT... The honey-comb is awesome... You can kill 50,000 bee's inside a trash container in 10 seconds... Ask me how I know...

This is funny shit. I love that guys smile as he is throwing the hitch. |

Well, I called around and nobody seems to want it. So, I called a bee removal service and they came and (attempted) to kill the queen. Still have bees, so I guess I'll know in a few more days...
They were just plain honeybees so it was a shame to kill them but they did quite a job inside my wall. |
