What is the best and inexpensive way to get rid of bees in the attic?

Question

by the way, these are yellow jackets

Answer 1

I'd just get a couple of the bombs, set up in the attic, close the door and in 3-4 hours, they will all be dead. Then, plug up the areas where they are coming inside.

Answer 2

Um....bees hate spiders....but you might be replacing the problem. Moth balls work really well for rats - inexpensive to try. If you are able to cool the area down considerably, maybe use a fire extinquisher, then you can knock the hive loose. Smoke only works to calm bees into a trance...Live citronella leaves or citronella oil - not the lantern type - can be sprayed into the hive as a natural alternative. They do not like citronella. I use the county agriculture extension agent for all of my questions - they are very knowledgeable about local issues in your own area.

Answer 3

Call an exterminator, especially if you live in an area that has Africanized bee population. Man in Tucson died a few days ago from over 300 stings trying to remove bees from his attic.

Answer 4

I have seen these jars that the bees can fly into and then they can't get out. There is some kind of sweet liquid in the jar that attracts them. I suspect you have a nest so after the bees are caught in the jar, you'll probably want to find the nest and get rid of it or more will come around.

Answer 5

Smear honey on your naked body and stand in the attic. Sometimes it helps if you also hum "Voyage of the Valkary".

Answer 6

crush some garlic and mixing it with water and put it in a spray bottle and spray the nest..

Answer 7

smoke them out

Answer 8

I would try smoke or bug bombs
