bees nest - best way to kill the bastards ?

[RWebb]

Just be sure to get it all on video for us!


in the non-dystopian future, we will all have robots to take care of these things

in the dystopian future, we will all be tortured and killed by mutant hornets

[svandamme]

i posted wrong badger vid earlier

this is the good one..

[rfuerst911sc]

Let me be perfectly clear , there will be no video for you guys or the ER staff !!!

Yeah, I would be thinking flaming arrow or some such. Napalm from a trebuchet ?

At minimum wear a bunny suit over some thick clothing.

Edit, can you push some dry ice up to the edge? The cold CO2 would cascade over.

I just use what the pro's (time is money) use:

Spectracide Commercial Wasp & Hornet Killer

Dielectric Breakdown Voltage of 47,100 Volts

Instant Kill Up to 20' Jet Spray (non arcing formula)

It will drop a man....no keeding...

Mine needs to go back in my truck....behind the console....in case I need it

If you don't want to waste gas, old brake fluid over the ledge.

Should work !

Some tricks and old farmer taught me. Hose them down with diesel from a weed sprayer and it eats their wings and keeps them from flying away and you can burn them.


If you are worried about fire or diesel, mix up water with lots of Dawn dish soap in the weed sprayer. You can hose them down and the soap kills em, makes for easy clean up!

[KFC911]

So all this hosing down etc. sounds good but hosing up is a whole nuther matter....

I just kill them dead with instant death....it's there where I am, when I encounter wasps & hornets.

But after a few beers I could do it differently...fire just sounds like fun....or 00 or....

HMBAWT !

Yes, we all know that...

I just came in from releasing the stream of fury ! Happy to report no stings on the human . I used about 3/4 of the can , soaking the exterior of the hive and filling the entrance hole. They were not happy but gave up quickly . Will inspect tomorrow morning and go from there . Ultimately I want to remove or burn the nest .

[Por_sha911]

Might as well use the other 1/4 of the can and spray it again in the morning before you get too close.

[RWebb]

congrats - let's see a pic of the sprayed nest, dead hornets, and FLAMES!!

Checked this thread like 5 times, learned more about the honey badger, but have to admit it's a little anti-climatical... Glad you're ok though,

'nough said.

[rfuerst911sc]

I just went out and emptied the balance of the can I used last night plus another partial can I had in the basement . Dead wasps on the ground and didn't see even one come out of the hive when I resprayed this morning . Looks like I can claim victory .

[KFC911]

I just killed a deer....27 rounds of .30-06

Well done!

[rfuerst911sc]

Stick a fork in this one it is done Went out with shovel in hand , dislodged the nest with no issues . One wasp staggered out but he was not going to make it long . Inside of the nest was full of dead larvae/eggs that was gross looking Gave the nest a good toss into the woods mother nature can now recycle .

[KFC911]

I'm not quit done yet...just reloaded !

someone posted a video of a drone with a flame thrower on it for.............. killing bees


I guy I use to work with had his own business for getting rid of animals.
he tells this story about a bees hive on the edge of a house.
so he gets up on a ladder with a saw and bag........need I say more.

the guy is hilarious. you will be crying from laughing so hard if you heard HIM tell the story,
