What's a good way to exterminate bumblebees?

#8259791 - 04/09/08 12:58 PM (16 years, 11 days ago)

For the past 2 years a huge swarm of bumblebees have decided to set up shop in the siding of my house. Last year it was a nuisance, but this year it's downright terrible. These motherfuckers are dive bombing me every time I set foot on my back porch and they are even smacking themselves against the skylight in my room and waking me up at 7am.

Enough is enough. Whats the most effective way to send these motherfuckers straight to hell? They're leaving shit stains all down the siding and are literally chasing me all around the back yard every time I step foot outside.

I want them to die a slow and painful death.

Any suggestions?

Tons and tons of thick smoke, then bee killer spray.

From what I understand, smoke only makes bees more docile and sluggish. And I've already sprayed Raid and wasp spray up there, only to be chased around the yard like an escaped mental patient.

I want to cast these heathens straight into the fiery bowels of hell, not give them a slow humane exit.

The bastards are smacking against my glass patio door as we speek.... Mocking me.... :mad2:

Alternatively, WD-40 and a lighter.

you have to get the nest killer shit

any kind of spray should work as long as it says it kills the nest

I wouldn't fuck w/ a bee hive. There used to be one at my work and they took over like a 6'x2' section inside a concrete pillar. You would only see a few bees on the outside but once the exterminator sprayed them the whole hive flew out bees everywhere 200ft. in every direction. Fuck I hate bees.

From what I understand, bumblebees actually bore into wood and lay their larvae. I don't think they have any defined nest.

That's the tricky thing...

And believe me, I have a propane flamethrower at my disposal... It looks like this:

It's just I'd rather not melt all the vinyl siding and set fire to my house to get rid of a few dozen bees...

Squirrels on the other hand..... :evil:

Don't kill bumble bees, we need them! They are dying off at alarming rates, and our agriculture is dependent on them as pollinators. Leave their nest alone and they leave you alone.

Fuck them. If they were in an agricultural field then I might think differently.

These bastards are just hanging around my house, fighting and fucking and attacking everything that steps onto my back porch.

FUCK THEM!

Thanks for the links, but I'm not dealing with carpenter bees.

These are huge motherfucking mutant bumblebees.

I managed to hit 2 of them with a tennis racket, but then they all swarmed me and chased me back inside.

I'm calling an exterminator. These bastards are all over the place.

its simple as fuck
you call beekeeper and he takes the queen and swarm away or whine here about how hardcore killing insects can be

the exterminator will probably call the bee keeper

So I watched some type of discovery channel thing on an exterminator.

He used soapy water.

...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely.

those sound like carpenter bees to me. you say they look like bumble bees, are they pretty large? like the largest bee youve ever seen? yellow and black?

do they look similar to this only with black and yellow stripes? because i ran into a nest of them here in south florida, i was told by the person who we were building the pool for that they had a bee specialist come out to see whether or not they were the africanized bees, and he said that they were a variant of the carpenter bee. they look like giant fucking bumble bees, like an inch around right? if its the same thing me and my boss ran into, they dont have stingers, but they have one hell of a mean bite. my boss thought it was hilarious to play baseball with them and a piece of wood...... until one bit the fuck out of his shoulder lol. it sliced right through his skin, left like a 1/4" slice. :lol:

:lol:

oh and i doubt a bee KEEPER will remove them for you, they are of no use to a bee keeper, they dont produce honey. you will most likely need an exterminator, and if they refuse to mess with it, call a bee specialist.
