I'd like to know as well. We have a similar issue. I usually end up removing the little nests a few times each year from various windows and eave areas. If they get too big I usually spray them with RAID before trying to knock it down. I've even found them trying to start them on my BBQ grill if we don't use it for a short length of time!! Light the BBQ and Snap, Crackle, POP!

Seriously this works: Take one standard issue blow torch (usually get a kit with a small tank at crappy tire.) Light said torch and hold it over the opening of the next. BURN BABY BURN Stop when the nest is gone (don't want to burn your house or anything
On the flip side there are some great, but extremely toxic chemicals that fill the nest and hang around after, so they kill everyone inside, and anyone who flies home later. |

I second Carrie's suggestion. Also - check your neighbours' houses. If they have hives and aren't treating them, you might be more at risk to getting them yourselves. We got rid of a couple of hives 2 summers ago, only to have 2 more pop up because the next door neighbour had a bunch he wasn't treating. |

The mention of WD40 remined me of something.... Man Sets Home On Fire Trying To Kill Bees January 12, 2007 7:35 a.m. EST Nidhi Sharma - All Headline News Staff Writer Cape Coral, FL (AHN) - Handling bees is never easy. Sometimes it could be a real trouble. In an attempt to save his house from bees, a man accidentally set fire to his house instead, causing at least $500 damage. According to the Fort Myers News-Press's Thursday's edition, Franklyn Pigott Jr. set his home on fire Wednesday when he unsuccessfully tried to destroy a nest of bees that had formed outside the home. According to a police incident report, Pigott, 38, mixed a product called Real Kill Indoor Fogger with WD-40 used to kill bees. But instead the product became a "flame-thrower" and melted the home's vinyl siding. |
