Waspinator


The waspinator is an ingenious product that works to keep yellow jackets away by way of smoke and mirrors. The bees think there is a competitive hive and will stay away. They are actually afraid of getting attacked by the bees in the waspinator. What an idea!

Delta Dust


What is the characteristics of dust when they come in contact with moisture? It clumps, breaks down, hardens, becomes useless. Now what if I told you there was a dust that defied the laws of dust? A dust that could float on water. A dust that was moisture resistant. Well that is just what Delta Dust is and it is a fantastic product when it comes to using it in areas where there is or could be high moisture.

Bee and Wasp Trap


This is the old stand by when it comes to trapping bees, wasps and yellow jackets. It looks like the best bait to get the bees into these traps would be a 50/50 part apple juice concentrate and water.

Apicide, Tempo Dust, Dusts in general.


Apicide and other insecticide dusts are generally used for treating wall voids and other areas where there is a low or no flow of air that could disturb the dust. Insecticide dusts are also very effective for treating bees, wasps, and hornets in wall voids. The entrance where the bees are entering, whether is be a hornets nest entrance or the entrance to a wall, can be dusted.
The bees track this dust deep inside the nest killing the bees as they brush up against the "infested" bee or as the bees groom each other, etc. These dusts are sold in "do it yourself" stores or in "do it yourself" web stores, also any hardware store may stock a brand of dust for this purpose.
Sidenote- Treating for bees is very VERY dangerous and most times are left to the professionals. Also using dusts can be risky in general so before using them or any chemical be sure to read the label!

Yellow Jacket Trap


The end of summer means bees and wasps. This yellow jacket trap is easy to use and can help reduce some of those bothersome bees while having that end of summer barbecue. Just fill it with juice and keep the traps away from any human activity. If you are picnicking in the yard then hang a few along the fence line. You get the point.
