Keeping The Bees Away - Continued

The toilet cleaner works great but at the same time I tried another suggestion made by the same person.  So you can try them together or separately to see which will work for you.  This is a little easier for large coverage areas.  At my house we had hornets, wasp and yellow jackets always building nest up under our eaves and at our doorways.  We would routinely knock them down by spraying them with water and then run like crazy, but these ridiculous little buggers would just start to rebuild the very next day or even the same day.  So we tried this in those areas and found it very effective and economically cheap.  Purchase an empty spray bottle (they’re like a dollar at your local dollar store) fill the empty bottle with lemon dish detergent and water.  Don’t water it down to much but enough that it’ll spray out easily.  Apply this spray up under eaves, along hand railings, doorways, swing set, barbecue grill, picnic table and any other spot that bees, wasp, hornets and yellow jackets build their nests.

Someone suggested hairspray and we’ve tried that but it only gave us a minute or two until they were right back.  So hairspray just gave us a few minutes to duck away from them and get out of the way.
We are now able to enjoy or patio after 6 years.  My children and swing on their swing set with out the screaming and running away from the flying bees.  I really did think that putting toilet cleaners around my patio area sounded like the most foolish idea that I ever heard of but I am truly grateful.  I also have the best smelling patio in the neighborhood.

I hope it works as good for you as it has for me!!
