Effectively Remove Bees From Your Home

One warm and sunny day I was enjoying my patio at my humble abode when I noticed a some trouble buzzing around a support column. No, it couldn't be. Yes, it is. Bees! Bees are living in the soffit of my patio and I had no idea until now. I am very aware of everything that goes on under my roof and I was very surprised to learn that I had a massive bee hive on the rear of my house.

This bee hive is the worst kind. It cannot be seen. Bees are coming and going through a gap between the brick and the molding and have made a nest in a very well protected area. Since the nest  is not visible, I have no idea what size of bee colony that I have.

At first, I notice a large swarm of bees from lunch to mid evening. A swarm so massive that I cant sit outside anymore from fear of getting a bee sting. I don't even know what kind of bee has infested my home. I go to my computer and search the web for bee information. What I find is pretty good. I have honey bees. This type of bee is not the aggressive Africanized bee that has migrated to North America in recent years.

Secondly, I search for bee keepers, exterminators, animal services and fire department. To my surprise, no one will bother with bees except bee specialists. Specialists are not ultra expensive neither cheap. Every price I was given seemed unfairly high. Many people I contacted didn't return my calls or email. With my experience unfolding non favorably, I decided to buy bee killer and spray it in the hole of the hive at night when the bees are not active.  Little good came from the bug spray.

After emptying several cans of spray, I begun to realize that I have a serious problem and unless I forfeit big money I cant get anyone to help me. Public services even shrugged their shoulders and told me to call a bee specialist.  I bought borax powder and  spread it at the opening of the bee hive, but that didn't work either.

Next, I began a serious search on the internet for a solution. There has to be something I can do with having to spend an unacceptable amount of money to rid my house of a pest that numbers in the thousands. Each one with a little stinger on it. After several days of internet searching and trying other insignificant solutions, I found something that blew my mind.


A bug zapper is the last thing I would expect to kill a bee colony. But I read several reviews and saw positive feedback. The greatest part is that I didn't need to buy one. I already had a bug zapper. I over looked it a few days prior looking for a bee solution. I mount the electronic bug killing apparatus next to the bee hive passage and plug it in. Immediately, I see smoke, sparks and  hear frying sounds. Bees are dying.

After several days of this favorable discovery, I quickly realized that I have so many bees that I need something additional or the extermination could take a long time. From previous internet searching I remembered seeing videos of bee professionals using vacuum cleaners to collect live bees. I scrambled to get my garage vacuum cleaner and mounted the hose up the brick column positioning the end at the bee hive opening.

I plugged the vacuum cleaner in and the results were amazing. A few hours of vacuum cleaner use far exceeded the bug zapper. I highly recommend using the two apparatuses together to fight a serious infestation which is what I had. All other recommendations I found applauds removing the bee hive once the bees are gone. I will try my luck and not remove the hive but I will fill the bee hive holes with insulation to prevent more bees entering the soffit area of my home to make another nest.

I felt compelled to share this information with the rest of the free world because I think it is a shame that home owners cant get help with such a problem without forfeiting big money. The methods I described above do work, but be careful as to not get any bee stings.
