<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>We
had an infestation of these varmints a couple of years ago, none of the dogs or
cats got stung, but the little nasties chased me into the house twice, I got
stung about 15 times and then it happened again and they stung me about 12
times. That’s it, bees gotta go. They had a nest in the
ground in one of my flower beds and also made multiple nests in the next door
neighbor’s rotten railroad timber planter edging. Neighbor wouldn’t
do anything, so I ended up getting rid of the bees in the planter and also in
the ground. Planter – once it was very dark so the bees were inside
the timber, I took expanding foam (Great Stuff it’s called) and a
flashlight, crawled under bushes to the planter and foamed (filled) every crack
and crevice in the timbers. Never saw another bee go in or out.
Ground Nest – after dark again, I took bee and wasp spray and a sturdy
bucket and a heavy rock – first heavily coat the inside of the bucket
with the bug spray, then set it close at hand. Now pour as much down the
entrance as you can, then grab bucket, invert over hole, put heavy rocks or
weight on top to hold it and seal it to the ground. Let it all sit undisturbed
for several days, theory is if any bees survive the initial spraying, they’ll
come up and be trapped in bucket full of more spray and die. It worked, no
more bees. Fill the entrance with dirt and hope the little buggers don’t
come back. Victory. <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
THAT’LL TEACH YOU!!!</span></b> Whoops, sorry, got carried away
there. Very rude to sting someone who is not bothering you.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
