Might be the time to admit defeat and just burn the fvcking house down. Pdub can probably help you fabricate some doorbell footage of some disgruntled, hillbilly, UK fans setting fire to your porch because they discovered your allegiance is to K fvkving U.

Re: Gitting Rid of a Bee
And that's great! That you're still here, sir
Please, I implore you to be reasonable...
Re: Gitting Rid of a Bee
We had the exterminator out two days ago. No nests in our yard, he said likely one of the neighbors. He sprayed and put powder around the deck and said there wasn't much more that he could do.
Saw one bee yesterday and none so far today. Of course it's crazy windy here today so that may be keeping them away. Anywhoooo, I may get the grass cut today. Needs it bad.

Re: Gitting Rid of a Bee
I have a yellow jacket nest in a stump in the yard.
It's been very active and now i'm wary to mow around it -- so I have to kill em.
Last night I added a bit of dawn to 4 gallons of boiling water and dumped it generally where I believe the hole to be ( it's tough because they fly in a particular crevasse in the stump so I'm pretty certain that's where the hole is ) then I covered the whole stump with a kiddie swimming pool.
Well, it didn't work, they are sneaking out of the edges of swimming pool and seem pretty pissed.
Tonight I'm gonna double dose - first pour a shit load of dawn around the stump area and then connect a hose and try and flood them - and then pour the boiling water again.
( Any other tips? I won't pour gasoline into my yard )

Re: Gitting Rid of a Bee
use the foam hornet spray. tent it with plastic and drop a fogger under it. set traps and use fish guts, raw meat and beer as bait.
ive been in an all out war with Hornets for the latter part of summer. Ive killed and destroyed at least 15 nests but they return. Just found a new one under a bridge on the property...gonna have to get geared up and tick and snake proofed so I can climb in the ditch to sprayem.
The other day I caught over 150. It didn't make a dent in the total number. Next year I gotta get on them earlier, quicker and with more power.

Chemical warfare!
What does Dawn do?
You need some serious, carcinogenic hornet spray. And lots of it.

Re: Gitting Rid of a Bee
One theory:
It turns out that soap and alcohol—the two main ingredients in Dawn Powerwash—are both great at killing insects. The soap clogs up insects' breathing tubes, essentially drowning them. Alcohol dries them out as well.

Re: Gitting Rid of a Bee
I've read and watched the youtubes.
Even seen evidence of it working where all the person did was use dawn and all of the hornets were out all fucked up and dying around the hive the next morning.
I bought some cheap window screen and am gonna follow what this guy did tonight.

Re: Gitting Rid of a Bee
if its in a stump, an easily confined area...im telling ya tarp or visqueen...and an insect fogger.

Re: Gitting Rid of a Bee
I'll try that if this doesn't work.
So just tarp the whole deal then activate and roll one of these under it?

Seems like a small flame thrower would be more fun.

Re: Gitting Rid of a Bee
yep.
weigh the tarp down best you can on the edges, roll that canister under there and leave it be.

Re: Gitting Rid of a Bee
3 gallons of boiling hot water and dawn mix all over tree stump.
Laid down screen. Cut hole in screen over nest hole.
Poured 1/4 bottle dawn in said hole. Stuck garden hose in. On for ten minutes.
Poured three more gallons boiling soap water in hole. Covered hole with lobster pot.
Gotta work.
