Knowing how to identify different types or types of flying pests is important, before you start hitting them. Honey bees shouldn't be killed, but wasps can be painful and dangerous. However, whatever pest has invaded your indoor space, you can learn how to properly approach the stinger and keep it away from you. Learn how to safely relocate bees and kill wasps, yellow jacket swaps, and other nasty pests.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Trapping and Releasing the Bees
Step 1. Identify the bee first
To some, any insect with a stinger, flying, and yellow and black in color, may also be called a “bee,” but there is a big difference between wasps, yellow jacket wasps and honey bees. There's usually no reason to kill a bee, so know the difference between the three to be able to handle pest problems responsibly.
- Wasps and yellow jacket wasps are pests with painful stings, usually thinner and smoother bodies, and slimmer than bees, with small, paper-thin nests. Although in some ways wasps aid in insect control, wasps contribute nothing to pollination, and although it is better to drive them out through the window-wasps are less important and less threatened than honeybees. So, hitting him once in a while is usually okay.
- In many areas, honeybee populations are threatened and existing bee colonies are struggling to survive. Honeybees-which are usually round, hairy, and somewhat smaller than wasps, and relatively harmless-are an important part of the ecosystem, as they carry out pollination that is essential for agriculture. There is no reason to kill a honeybee.
- Try observing the nest. Honeybees build their hives out of wax or wax, in a beehive formation, while other stinging insects tend to build their nests out of wood grain or mud.
Step 2. Open windows and doors
If a bee is trapped inside, just open the window to let it out. Wait for the bees to smell the scent and wind currents from outside and find their way out of your house. If you can, close the door to the room the bees are in, trap them there, and stay out of the room for an hour or two giving the bees plenty of time to find their way out.
The bee doesn't want to stay in your house and terrorize you. Your house is free of flowers and it is useless for the bees to be in it. Wait for the bee to leave. When you go back into the room, watch until you're sure the bee is gone
Step 3. Consider whether it is possible to trap the bee
If you have a small container with a see-through lid, use it to try to trap the bees and safely release them outside. Luring a bee to fly out is always preferable to hitting it.
If you are allergic to bees, it is recommended that you get someone else to do this, or leave the area immediately. If you don't have a choice, do so with extreme care, and wear protective gloves, and have your anti-allergic injections ready, such as an EpiPen, for easy access
Step 4. Wait for the bee to land and trap it
Wait for the bee to land on a wall or other solid surface, and have a chance to cool down. It's quite difficult to grab a bee that is agile in midair with a jar, and vice versa, you may end up angering the bee or accidentally killing it.
Approach the bee carefully and catch it quickly using the container. Wait for the bees to fly to the bottom of the container and quickly attach the lid, or cover the lip of the container with a piece of paper to trap the bees inside
Step 5. Remove the bee
Take the bee out and release it. Open the lid of the container, back off quickly, and wait for the bees to fly out. Take the container back and your task is done.
Step 6. Release the bee if you have to
If you absolutely must kill the bees for any reason, place the container in the refrigerator overnight and allow the bees to freeze. There's not much reason to do this, but it's the most humane and simplest way.
Method 2 of 3: Dealing with the Honeycomb
Step 1. Find the beehive
An existing honeybee colony sometimes breaks up into several swarms, and a swarm or swarms of bees will leave the hive. The new swarm may temporarily flock on a tree branch or bush near the old hive, while scout bees look for a suitable place to build a new home. Usually search bees find a hollow tree, but sometimes they will choose a cavity in the walls of a house.
Check under crevices on the veranda, as well as new parts of your home, or any other places where beehives may be infested, any areas with large cavities are likely to be inhabited by bees. Bees can nest in walls or in attics some distance from where they enter the wall
Step 2. Contact beekeepers in your area
If honey bees have infested your home or yard and are causing serious problems, contact your local beekeepers association to see if they will come and collect the bees, as the bee population is in decline. After that, you can easily and safely remove the nest, and dispose of it without worrying about being stung.
Step 3. If necessary, consider using an insecticide
If you have found a honey bee, contact the beekeeper and have the bee relocated. If you have found a wasp, it is usually best to use an insecticide to kill it and keep it away from your home.
As soon as you know the general area of the beehive, you can place the glass against the wall and place your ear on the open end of the glass, then slide the glass gently to listen to the buzzing of the bees behind the wall to determine the exact location it occupied. Bee hive. Once the location of the beehive is known, a hole can be drilled or drilled, preferably the hole is drilled through the outer wall, so that the insecticide can be introduced into the hive directly
Step 4. Spray the hive
Insecticides, such as Carbaryl or Sevin 5% Dust are common insecticides used to get rid of wasps and other insects that inhabit your home. If the insecticide is not used properly, persistent efforts may be required to get the job done eventually.
- Sevin insecticide that is sprinkled into the entrance to the beehive may not reach the hive, which may be some distance from the entrance, so it is important to treat the hive itself, not the wasps or other pests individually.
- It may take several attempts before you can get rid of the hive completely. Wear protective clothing and be careful to avoid painful stings.
Step 5. Remove the remains of the nest
By wearing thick clothing and thick rubber gloves, you can safely remove the remains of the hive after the bees have relocated or after the wasps have been killed. If you have sprayed insecticide on the nest, it is important to properly dispose of any nest debris in the trash. Once the bee has been removed, you can throw the hive out without worrying. Take it away from your home and throw it away.
Method 3 of 3: Killing a Pest
Step 1. Find the fly swatter
If you have yellow jacket wasps or wasps that you need to get rid of, the swaddle you normally use to kill house flies can also work well to kill wasps and other pests that you may want to stun and get rid of. Cheap plastic fly swatters are very useful in getting rid of wasps.
Again, there's not much reason to kill bees. If the bee is causing a problem, relocate the hive
Step 2. Find the bee's location and wait for the bee to land
Keep standing still near the bee and track it down. With the bat ready to attack, wait for the bee to approach you. Wait for the bees to land before you move.
Waiting with the bat up and ready to hit is usually a good idea. If you pick up the swatter only after the bee lands, it's likely to frighten the bee, and it's usually too late to hit it. Stay as still as possible
Step 3. Hit quickly
Flex your wrist as you swing the bat forward and stun the bee. If done right, you may not actually be killing the bee, you're just making it unconscious. Put the bee in the jar.
Do not swing the bat at the bee while it is still in the air. Hitting carelessly in the air is a great way to anger the wasp and get a painful sting
Tips
- Freezing bees can also be done for the purpose of catching bees and then releasing them.
- Bees are friendly creatures. Contrary to popular view, bees don't sting unless they feel threatened or frightened.
