HELP- bees are infesting our house!
2004-04-22, 2:09 PM #1
When I got home from school, there was a huge cluster of bees swarming around an exposed wall where we are doing construction. The dry wall is torn down and there are holes all over it.

Now, the bees are pretty much gone from the outside, but I can see them coming in and out of the holes. I can hear them tapping and moving in the wall if I stand inside my house. One bee so far has gotten inside our house. I have no idea how many of them there are, as they are all inside the wall. What do I do? I fear it is only a matter of time before the bees completly take over.

The holy Fogger of Antioch!
Then did he raise on high the Holy Fogger of Antioch, saying, "Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst poison thine enemies death, in thy mercy." And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals ... Now did the Lord say, "First thou pullest the Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Fogger in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

I had that problem with my closet. Imagine, rolling out of bed half awake, opening your closet and being attacked by a swarm of bees, still thinking you are dreaming. I could only mumbled "Wtf?!" at that point. But anyway, it was only a small hole in my wall, about the size of a baseball. My dad used some sort of glue-gun or something and plugged the hole up. Had no problems since.

And guys, please just stfu with the stupid remarks. Bees are annoying, and I think he wants them gone, okay?

Actually.. if you wanted to make chlorine gas, you could mix together some ammonium and bleach, and then toss the solution into one of their holes. *

Oh yeah. And then run like hell, into the wind. And don't come back for a long time. And hope the bees die quickly.

Oh yeah.

If you want to kill them without breaking several international laws, and without potentially killing many people, you could probably call an exterminator.

The quicker the better.

If it's wasps I suggest blowing up your house.

Would be weird for bees to build a hive inside a house, though more protection I guess. Exterminator's your best bet, unless you want to bomb the house with exterminating gas yourself. Don't they sell stuff like that, they look like grenades?

Alright. I'm pretty sure they arn't wasps. They don't have the long hanging abdomen that wasps have, and they are not shiny like yellowjackets. An important thing to note is that this wall is going to be torn down anyway. So unless they spread, perhaps we can poison them.

I wanted to be the first to tell him how to make Chlorine gas....sigh.

I can tell you how to make nitroglycerin, but that would be rather dangerous, and completely useless and off-topic.

God bless our foolish chemistry textbook publishers though...

On topic, I'd wait until night to do whatever it is you are planning, they do sleep, and rather soundly. And you just have to make them never wake up again.

Well see, Bees HATE smoke, and fire produces smoke, which also destroys their hives. So all you need to do is burn your house to the ground, and VOILA, no bee infestation.

I know how to turn your problem into profit in a few simple steps

1: find the queen grab her, and put in jar

2: send ransom note to the hive demanding a large amount honey,

3: git the honey ransom, say its not good enough and make them git more

4: git the 2nd honey ransom and return the queen,

5: sell, or eat the honey, then in a few weeks start over from set 1

Well, if i remeber the info i learned from my chem class (I have an awesome Chem teacher that tells us everything we ask. we spent a whole class on explosives when we started talking about NH3), and the subsequent talk about 'Fight Club', You have to take soap, and mix it with, uhh.. orange juice, in some receptical chilled very, very much, close to freezing, and, uh, that's all i've got. But afteryour done making it, you should never heat it, and nver, ever shake it, or you will experience some rather nasty, permanent dislocation from your body.

By burn, do you mean set aflame, or create?

Nah, it does involve soap though, ala Fight Club-one of my favorites- to make the glycerin (a byproduct of a saponification reaction). Considering the age of some of the massassians, it'd be more responible of me to leave the next part out (judgement is sometimes a problem even with adults). It's just so incredibly dangerous, and the temptation to attempt it might exist. I'm not sure how much force it would require to set it off, or if it could go off almost spontaneously. And once you have it, you are presented with the problem of getting rid of it- all options being dangerous.

The frozen orange juice thing has to do with Fight Club's Napalm recipe.
