Ways to fight insects in the garden

The most common place to create a colony of bumblebees is the upper layers of the soil. Usually the former burrows of rodents become bumblebee nests. Such an underground house is difficult to notice right away. It is given out by shaggy relatives of bees buzzing above it. Among them there are different types of arthropods:

• earth bumblebeeswho prefer to settle in layers of soil;
• stonewhich are different from others in black color;
• field - the most common in central Russia;
• garden workersconstantly pollinating fruit trees and berry bushes;

In no case should one try to get rid of bumblebees in the ground by mechanical means. Digging with a shovel or a motor-cultivator will not destroy all individuals at once, but will definitely 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. Perfect liquid solution Gett or ordinary insect powder Dust. The solution needs to be poured over the earth at the entrance to the hole and into the hole itself too. The powder also crumbles near the entrance.

For a more humane way to evict unwanted neighbors from the site, scaring with smoke will do.Need to smoke in dry and windless weather. To do this, near the entrance to the nest you need to organize a place for a fire. As the smoking materials fit green branches of trees, grass, unnecessary rags.

Only the fire needs to be kindled in a strong metal bucket or basin. Smoke will expel all insects from buildings and help drive out the bumblebees without killing them.

Separately hanging nest

Bumblebee

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

You can try to scare away the bumblebees with smoke, but they will most likely return 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 at one time. It is necessary to pour over the hive with gasoline or bonfire and set it on fire. This method is not suitable for wooden buildings.
2. Dipping the hive into the water is an equally effective way to exterminate the bee's hairy relatives. It is necessary to carefully dismantle the nest and immediately immerse in a deep container with water. To prevent the hive from floating up, it is pressed down with a load.
3. Wrapping with polyethylene will entail a lack of oxygen and the death of insects in the nest. For a quicker effect, it is recommended to make a small hole in the film and spray there with a strong aerosol preparation.

These methods will help solve the problem of those owners of houses and cottages, who did not know how to get the bumblebees out from under the roof. But in place of one nest of bumblebees destroyed, new ones may appear. In such situations, it is advisable to accept the fact that this place is so popular among bee counterparts. If these beneficial insects do not create serious problems, it is better not to touch them.
