I discovered them while mowing my lawn. We're having guest over on saturday & I don't want them to sting my guests or the children.

I've had these nasty pests before too. After I tried bleach and then soap, my neighbor told me to pour kerosene on the ground where the nest was, wait a minute and then ignite carefully. Between the vapors and the heat it did the trick. Good luck, this type of bee leaves a heck of a scar when it stings!

Call an local exterminator or the local gov't animal control for advice.
Bee keepers use smoke to calm the bees before handling the bees. I have seen on the local news that firefighters using high pressure water hoses to destroy Africanized bee nests. As mentioned before, I think wasps or hornets are more likely to bulid underground nest.

I found this product by mistake "Fire Ant Killer Plus Granules Eliminator" I got it from Wal Mart. After you put it on the nest wet it just like you would for the ants and in a couple of days they will be gone.

Unless these bees are aggressive and pose an immediate danger, please do a search on beneficial bees.
We have an area behind the house that mining bees have inhabited for the last several years. We sometimes sit back there to eat dinner and have never had a problem.

If they are the small black and pale yellow ones they should not bother you because I have them behind my flower barrel and they don't bother me. They go into the ground through the rocks. You might try dusting with Sevin Dust and they will track it into the nest and all will die. I use this to get rid of yellow jackets.It works good believe me.

make an aluminum foil hose and attach it to the muffler on your lawn mower, make it long enough for safety - noise - and stick it in the hole and fire up your mower. be careful. on a more humane note many bee keepers will remove the bees. some will do it for free.

locate 4 or five 5gal buckets. put a gallon of water in each bucket.
pour a cup of vegetable oil into each bucket. suspend a piece of cooked chicken about one inch from the surface of the oil with a piece of string and a stick across the top of each bucket. scoop out meat bees daily until only one or two are left.
"SWAT THEM" !

We got rid of one yellow jacket nest by purchasing a spray at Home Depot (Spectracide or such) that can shoot 20 feet. Best time to spray them is at dusk when they're all in there. Definitely keep your distance, they're nasty buggers. May have to do it twice.

Wear a bee-suit and force smoke into their nest.
