How to Exterminate Wasps and Bees

Learn how to rid your home's exterior of bee and wasp nests; details include protective clothing and suggestions for chemical exterminators.

When Ron discovered that there were several bee or wasp nests around the outside of their home, he wanted to take care of them himself, but his wife insisted they call an exterminator. When the exterminator came, Ron asked him about do-it-yourself bee extermination.

Ron decided to give some of the nests around his home a try for himself, so he dressed for battle.

If you're going to try this, you should be cautious, especially if you don't know if you are allergic. That means you should wear protective clothing, long sleeves, and gloves.
A towel over your head with a clamp is also a good idea. Ron even wore a face mask from his shop.

 

Ron's protective wear
   

Many spray cans reach up to 15 or 20 feet, so stand far back. Also, it's best to attack a nest at dusk or at dark when they're less active.
