Maintaining a garden/lawn is not an easy task, and when you hear bees buzzing around, than it is a big problem for you. Bees do make us scared because of the painful sting that may send chills down our spines. Unlike other pests that infest your house, bees may not create that kind of a nuisance. There is no doubt that bee removal from your house can become very challenging. However, here are some steps that you should take as soon as you notice a beehive in or near your house-
* Vinegar Mixture
You are sure to have vinegar in your kitchen and it can help you get rid of annoying bees in your house too. All you need to do is take one tablespoon of vinegar in three-quarters of water, pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spray it on the hive. However, keep two things in mind – using a spray to get rid of bees will require you to do it by yourself close to the hive, so take protective measures accordingly. Also, this mixture is strong enough to kill bees, rather than just repel them, so use the spray judiciously and only if absolutely necessary.
* MothballsYes, mothballs can be used to get rid of bees also. The strong smell of mothballs can repel bees. You need to take some mothballs and put them in a soft muslin cloth or a sock and hang it close to the hive. Soon, you may notice the bees disappearing.
* Garlic PowderBees do not like strong or pungent smells and garlic is something that may help do the trick. Take ample amounts of garlic powder and sprinkle it generously over the hive.
* Sweet-Smelling FruitBees get attracted to sweet things and they have a strong sense of smell too. Cut a ripe mango or pear and place it 20 to 30 feet away from the hive; you’ll notice bees gathering near it. Keep moving the bait a few feet every day until the bees set up a new nest close to it and are far away from your place.
* Citronella CandlesThis is one of the best ways of getting rid of bees. Light candles around the hive and bees will start avoiding the area as the smell of the candles will repel them.
