Best ways to repel bees from making their nest of hives
 

Is there anyway to repel bees from making their hives on our balcony? My dad and I already took down a couple of their hives but they just go back and try to rebuild another one.

Are there any sprays out there or techniques that can be used to keep this from happening?

thanks in advance

go to homedepot, and buy the fake bees nest....it works pretty well.:)

other options is a tiger torch and a 40lb propane tank.:thumbsup:

is the bee hive appearing in a hole or under eaves of like a gutter or something?? if so maybe you should cover it up with mesh.

oh god i wish i could find the website with the pictures of the redneck who made a huge gas fireball mushroom explosion to torch a bee hive on a swingset

real white trash/chinese mainlander thing this - but...
get a liquor store brown paper bag, tie it up at the open end, hang it - bees/wasps/hornets think its another nest

white trash? yes - works, yes, well at least on our patio it does

That was epic! :haha:

You mean ... this?

And for something ballsier (and quite possibly cooler - check the soundtrack):

you do know bees are already dying off for whatever reason right?
keep them around... it'll help your garden or whatever

thats the one!

Are you sure it is bees not wasps?

+1 :thumbsup:

Because of the lack of bees in North America, there is some great concern that this will have great impact on our food chain as plants are not pollinating properly.

I do beleive the bees are returning because of the smell that is left behind from the previous nest. Look around to see if there is any leftover nest/honey combs.

bees = :woot:

wasps = :gtfo:

u think balcony is bad? a nest was formed in the door hinge of my family's car. it was a nuisance to get rid of them

try salt...

bees like honey, which is sweet...

...maybe they won't like salt... thats what Chopstick would do (o____o)....

Actually, I forgot to mention. Every time I found a hive forming or random wasps flying where I was about to work, I would give them a shot of brake cleaner - dead instantly.

From watching Verminators on TLC, soapy water works too.

It clogs their ability to breath and thus they suffocate to death.

just let them sting you, eventually they will all dies..

Verminators is a great show! A little nasty at times. But great!

wow.. that sucks having a nest by your door..

this should be sticky'd:D

the wasps always return to my patio every year. Their queen is sooooooo fat

I have a bees nest outside my front door.. LOL it's not exactly visible but you see bees going in and out of a small crack near my house by the gutters part..

I hope they aren't wasps :( Also have you guys ever heard that having a bees nest in front of your house is considered good luck...? Cause I haven't but apparently it is..

My bad, they aren't bees, they are wasps, and their huge. So the brown paper bag technique is used to fool wasps, because they think there is another nest there so they wont to build one by it anymore?

its cheap but it doesnt work aswell as the one i stated earlier....the pre-packaged one has a scent pack in the bubble aswell, which deters the wasp from building in the general vacinity.


btw, i got a wasp nest brewing in my external garage...lol. My most favorite past thing to do is silicone the opening closed late at night. It traps them inside the gutter and they go ballistic for a few weeks, then die off.
