These fluffy insects prefer to build nests in burrows underground or in tree hollows. But some female founders of the bumblebee family choose unusual places for arranging the nest:

• attics of houses;
• farm buildings and sheds;
• porch;
• attics, balconies;
• cracks between the floors of the building;
• arbors;
• benches and benches;
• gaps between the boards of a wooden house and others.

On a note!

Such a neighborhood can be unpleasant and even dangerous for humans. Bumblebee bite very painful and often causes a severe allergic reaction. If bumblebees wound up in close proximity to a person’s dwelling, their breeding should not be delayed.

If you need to get rid of bumblebees in a house or in a wall of a residential building, you should choose radical methods using insecticides.

• restricting air access to the nest with a plastic film or water;
• exposure to smoke;
• special chemical solutions for spraying the nest;

All these methods are suitable for certain cases of finding bumblebee nests. To facilitate the fight against insects, you need to know what bumblebees are afraid of and what they try to avoid. They hate harsh sounds, the smell of smoke, bright light, vibration and shaking. Therefore, they always choose a secluded and dark place for their houses. Having discovered such a house and the way insects penetrate there, you can proceed to decisive action.

Bumblebee nest in the house

The most dangerous and unexpected place to create a bumblebee hive is a house or a summer house. A female bumblebee could fly in through a window or an open door and find a secluded place for laying eggs. And in a few weeks the nest will already be teeming with dangerous insects.

Drive insects or crush them manually does not make sense. Angry furry buzzers can attack the owner of the house. In such a situation, it is important to choose an effective way to quickly get rid of a dangerous family.

To get rid of bumblebees in the wall of a house or in another hard-to-reach place, you can use aerosols or liquid solutions containing pesticides:

• Dichlorvos;
• Raid;
• Gett;
• Xulat;
• Bros;
• Trapsiel;
• Empire and others.

Before starting processing the nests in the house, everyone needs to leave the room, close the windows and doors in order to limit the access of fresh air and prevent insects from flying out of the room. Before you get rid of the nest of bumblebees in the country or in the house, a person should wear tight clothes, a special mask of beekeepers, gloves and a respirator.

Important!

People with hypersensitivity are not recommended to poison bumblebees with chemicals. Insecticides can cause an allergic reaction.

All measures to get rid of insects should be carried out in the evening or at night, when all individuals are in the nest. It was at this time that they were the least active. Aerosols Reid, Dichlorvos, Bros need to be sprayed into the hole from where the bumblebees fly out and treated with them all the room. With liquid solutions Ksulat, Gett, Trapsiel spray the place of deployment of the bumblebee family and leave the room.

The remedy for bumblebees in the house can have an effect on insects for up to three days. Only after this time all arthropods must die. But you should still go into the house in a protective suit in case there are surviving individuals. After the detection of dead insects or in the complete absence of them, you need to ventilate the room and conduct wet cleaning. Slots and holes where bumblebees penetrated must be covered with building material.

Getting rid of bumblebees in the utility room

Bumblebees in a wooden house can settle anywhere: in the pantry, in the attic, in the basement, in the attic or balcony, under the porch, in the barn. The presence of gaps between the ceilings and boards creates favorable conditions for the bumblebee family. And you can also get into these rooms through the cracks and gaps of the building. Often there are bumblebees in a barn or in a garage, where it is not difficult to penetrate an insect.

After you managed to find the entrance to the nest, you need to start preparing the poison. The easiest way to destroy the hive is to spray it. In non-residential premises, you can use strong drugs Troapsil, Moskitol. Spraying the agent liberally at all possible entrances to the bumblebee house, immediately leave this place and wait for the results.

On a note!

In utility rooms it is more difficult to provide an enclosed space. Therefore, only very toxic or concentrated agents can expel insects.

To remove bumblebees from under the porch floor or in the basement of the house will help liquid solutions of pesticides. To any solution you need to add liquid or laundry soap. With this soapy mixture, you need to process the cracks in the floor or on the side of the porch. Sensing danger, arthropods will try to get out, but they will be smeared with soap poison and will not be able to fly away.

Bumblebee hives on the ground

The most common place to create a bumblebee colony is the topsoil. Usually, rodent burrows become bumblebee nests. Such an underground house is difficult to notice right away. His hairy relatives of bees buzzing over him. Among them there are different types of arthropods:

• earth bumblebeeswho are more likely to settle in the soil;
• stonewhich differ from others in black;
• field - the most common in central Russia;
• garden workersconstantly pollinating fruit trees and berry bushes;
• city ​​bumblebee. He has a pronounced red color. It is found almost throughout Russia, feeds on pollen and nectar of plants, as well as fresh honey.

Important!

In no case should you try to get rid of bumblebees in the ground mechanically. Digging with a shovel or a cultivator will not destroy all individuals at once, but it will certainly anger them.Insects will certainly begin to attack the culprit of destruction.

It is better to choose a toxic remedy for bumblebees in the country or in the garden containing permethrin. Gett's liquid solution or regular Dust insect powder is perfect. With a solution, you need to water the ground at the entrance to the hole and into the hole itself. The powder also scatters near the entrance. Insects crawling inside will drag part of the poison into the nest, thereby infecting all members of the family.

For a more humane way to evict unwanted neighbors from the site, repelling with smoke is suitable. You need to smoke in dry and calm weather. To do this, near the entrance to the nest, you need to organize a place for a fire. As steaming materials, green tree branches, grass, unnecessary rags are suitable.

On a note!

Such a way to drive out bumblebees from the nest may not be pleasant to the closest neighbors in the country house and other residents of the houses nearby. Before lighting a fire it is better to warn them of possible inconveniences.

A column of caustic smoke will help get rid of black bumblebees and their other relatives. You can smoke bumblebees in this way from the open porch and garage. Only a bonfire needs to be kindled in a durable metal bucket or basin. Smoke will drive all insects out of the buildings and help drive bumblebees away without killing them.

Separately hanging nest

Sometimes bumblebees build an open nest in the form of an irregular ball, which is hanging on a tree branch, under the roof of a house, gazebo or any canopy. Such a hive may appear imperceptibly for the owners of buildings, as it is often located high above the head and hidden behind the cornice.

You can try to scare off the bumblebees with smoke, but they are likely to return back to their cells with eggs. In order not to drive them away constantly, there are cardinal methods of dealing with such hives:

1. Exposure to open fire is an effective method of destroying an entire family in one go. It is necessary to pour a beehive with gasoline or liquid to light a fire and set fire to it. This method is not suitable for wooden buildings.
2. Dipping the hive in water is an equally effective way to exterminate the hairy relatives of the bee. It is necessary to carefully dismantle the nest and immediately immerse it in a deep container with water. So that the hive does not float, it is crushed with a load.
3. Wrapping with polyethylene will entail a lack of oxygen and the death of insects in the nest. For a faster effect, it is recommended to make a small hole in the film and spray it with a strong aerosol preparation.

These methods will help solve the problem for those owners of houses and cottages who did not know how to get bumblebees from under the roof. But in the place of one destroyed nest of bumblebees, new ones may arise. In such situations, it is advisable to come to terms with the fact that this place is so popular with bee brethren. If these beneficial insects do not pose serious problems, it is best not to touch them.
