Locating A Hive And Applying Pesticide
If an individual is unsure of the location of a hive, they can use a pair of binoculars to take a close look at their yard during the day. A hive may be camouflaged by tree branches or attached to a front porch or the side of a home. After locating a hive, preparations can be made to spray the hive when it is dark outside. Honey bees are not active during the night and will likely be inside of a hive.
After putting on a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and gloves, a ladder needs to be stabilized near a hive. A liquid or powder pesticide should be applied to the opening of a hive. A Honey Bee Swarm in Dublin OH won’t be eliminated instantly, so waiting until the following day to remove the hive will be necessary.
Removing A Hive And Its Remnants
Before removing a hive, its opening should be inspected to determine if any bees are present. If there no signs of life, a vinyl tarp can be laid across the property that is underneath the hive. The tip of a spade can be used to loosen a hive from its present location.
After a hive falls onto the ground, it can be disposed of. If there are small parts of a hive that are stuck to a tree or home’s exterior, remnants can be sprayed with soapy water. A scrub brush should be moved firmly over residue. After the hive has been eliminated altogether, a water hose can be used to rinse off a home’s or tree’s exterior.
