How to Get Rid of a Beehive

Video Transcript

"I'm Trevor with Monster Pest Control, located in American Fork, UT, today we're talking about how to rid your home of insects, the topic is how to get rid of a beehive. Quite often what I do is I go around, inspect the house, find where the hive is, or where the bees or wasps are coming in and out of the house. Basically, take some kind of wasp, bee killer and I spray the area and I get all of the area, making sure I don't get stung myself, and stand back far enough that you're safe. Once I do that, I let it sit for about ten, fifteen, twenty minutes and then I take my webster, or pole, and I clean off the nest or knock them down. You can use almost anything, a stick or a pole, whatever, to knock down the nest. If it's really big, you may want to hire a professional. Another method to get rid of, or rid your home of bees or wasp, is by taking a mixture of water and soap, usually about fifty fifty, maybe a little bit less of the soap, in some spray container and actually spray the nest and that will also get the wasps or bees to drop down and to die off and then you can clean off the nest."
