The appearance of wild bees in the house is considered rare, but unpleasant. Nests are often found in forests, in old trees, or insects find refuge in suburban areas and dachas. Such "neighbors" must be evicted. If the bees sense danger, they can bite humans severely. You should know what to do to get the bees out.

Before starting breeding, you should make sure that these are bees, and not hornets or wasps. Each type of insect must be fought with different methods. Wild bees have a uniform color and are smaller than domestic honey bees. Up to 100 thousand individuals live in one family, and the weight of their house reaches 40 kg.

Favorite places where bees like to settle:

  • roof;
  • chimney;
  • walls;
  • emptiness under the stairs;
  • trees in the garden;
  • greenhouses;
  • birdhouses;
  • Earth.

How to get rid of wild bees

If wild insects have settled in the wall of the house, there are 5 ways to remove them yourself:

  • Bees do not like loud sounds and vibrations, so this method can be applied. There is no need for special devices, you can play loud music near the wall so that the player creates vibration. It's good if the house has a subwoofer.
  • Petrol. You need to find holes in the house and fill them with kerosene or gasoline. Insects do not like the pungent smell and will leave. But this method should be approached responsibly, since gasoline and kerosene are highly flammable, and pests may not be the worst problem.
  • Pesticides. They are poured into bee passages. These drugs are sold in specialized stores. If it is not possible to acquire poison, there is a folk method: boric acid is poured into holes, which is a relatively cheap effective drug.
  • Another non-standard method is a spray carburetor cleaner. The aerosol kills insects and prevents the appearance of new ones.
  • Pour boiling water from 5 to 10 liters into the holes. The bees will die, but there is no guarantee that they will not settle again.

Important! It is strictly forbidden to isolate pests with concrete. The bees will quickly orient themselves, start making burrows further and appear inside the house. By this point, they can become very angry.

Bees - pests of wooden houses

How to get rid of bees in the country

Wood bees are interesting insects: outwardly similar to bumblebees and are not considered aggressive, but they carry another danger: they easily grind holes in dry wood and arrange nests inside the walls.

Note! Wood bees love the sun, so you need to look for holes on sunny walls. In the shade, insects settle in rare cases.

If moves are found, action is taken immediately.

What will help to get rid of annoying "neighbors":

  • Put pesticides (boric acid or carbaryl) into burrows.
  • Pour gasoline or diesel fuel into the nests. The method instantly kills pests. You need to carry out the manipulation in protective equipment and gloves.
  • Pour carburetor cleaner into the slot. The aerosol has a thin long nose that fits easily into drilled holes. The bees die instantly and will not reappear due to the strong smell.
  • Place a strong vibration on the wall where the hive is located.

Important! Fighting each individual separately will not bring results. While the queen lives in the hive, her family will quickly replenish with young bees. It is important to destroy the uterus, only then will her whole family disintegrate.

In order to avoid the appearance of pests, prevention is important, since the bees will remember the former house and will be able to return back:

  • It is advisable to cover the wood with paint or varnish, since insects love untreated wood.
  • Etch active passages with essential oil of orange bark or almond oil.
  • Even if the adults left the nest, the larvae remain in it, powder insecticides (Dichlorvos, Super-Cobra, Karbofos, etc.) will help to get rid of, after the poison falls asleep, you do not need to close the exit from the hive, since the young will make moves.
  • If it is scary to flood the nest with flammable substances, you can place them close to the hive: gasoline, kerosene, engine oil, Domestos, a product with the smell of bleach or acetic acid are poured into a basin. The family will leave the hive in a couple of hours.
  • To drive the bees from the land, you can decompose the foam, which they do not like, which means they will leave the hive.
  • To prevent the appearance of insects in the territory of the cottage, mint, lemon balm, lavender, calendula or wormwood are planted.
  • You can make a homemade trap. Sugar syrup or jam is poured into a plastic cup. A funnel (paper or cut-off plastic bottle) is inserted into the neck of the glass. Ready-made traps are sold in which you need to put bait.
  • In the courtyard, bunches of dried herbs are hung and citrus peels are laid out.

Additional Information! If a swarm is noticed outside the courtyard, do not panic ahead of time. If there is no hive yet, the bees will soon fly away. This behavior suggests that the uterus is collecting a colony.

If bees appeared under the roof

If a dwelling is seen in the attic, it cannot be covered with cement. This method will not destroy the nest, but only force the swarm to make a new exit, and after such manipulation it is unlikely to be friendly.

Helpful hints

It is not recommended to seal the bees in the walls because they will find a new way out. Even if a certain number of insects die, they will become bait for other nasty pests.

If the bees are located outside the yard or are bred by neighbors, the only option is a fence 2-3 meters high. The method is costly, but there will be no more insects in the yard. Experienced beekeepers note that insects do not like the smell of lavender, so they advise planting it in the yard.

Other helpful tips:

  • Avoid planting plants with a strong attractive scent nearby.
  • Regular pruning of trees is important so that there are fewer blooms in the yard.
  • Even if the bees have left the house, the hive cannot be left. Leftover honey can attract wasps and hornets.
  • The bag is carried away, otherwise it will lure rodents and beetles.
  • If the bees settled in a hollow, it is processed and then sealed securely.

There are many types of pests, aggressive and not, and unknowingly, you should not stir the hive yourself. If a person tries to get rid of an unpleasant neighborhood without experience or proper equipment, bees can bite him. Some summer residents do not touch the hives. Small families are not capable of doing harm, but only pollinate the garden and vegetable garden.
