Long story short - [Ex]Terminator Needed!

Post by network_engineer » Tue May 12, 2009 11:13 am

Hi all,

I am assuming that some bees (I am assuming these are "honey" bees, black and yellow stripes, about two centimetres in length) have made a hive in our attic. Now, I've got nothing against bees, except when they lose their way and make it inside our house. I still have nothing against them, except we have a busy 10-month old who thinks they are very interesting and crawls after them. Now, these bees should know better, but they keep buzzing around the window (which is next to my dog's crate), and then settle and start to crawl at a low heights. So, then we have our 10-month old champ who is all over the dog (bless her heart) and her bed, trying to knock the bee.

So, I think the more humane thing to do would be to smoke them away... far away, never to return. It is more humane than swatting them. I did try swatting one by the way, only to realise that my 10-month old crawled over to pick it up and "taste" it. That is, in the two-second period that I stretched my hand to grab a napkin to wrap and bury the bee - with full honours. Thank God I had swatted the life out of the bee else we would have had 10-month old with a swollen tongue. And thank God I saw the yellow in his fists! And then again, thank God I can still jump over the couch and could reach him before his brain could signal his jaw to shut tight!

So, anybody know of a [Ex]Terminator? Or where I can find them and by what name/heading/title? Obviously, "murhaaja" is not the word I am looking for! :) Mehiläinen hävittäjä?

Thanks.

PS: The bees in question could be Apis mellifera OR Bombus terrestris, but as far as bees go, I am quite illiterate on the subject, unless we are talking about the Bee Gees :)

Cheers!

That is from the yellow pages. There are a couple more. The word is "tuholaistorjunta".

I guess once the bee stings theres a leraning curve of whats not so interesting to play with.

I'd just use a big bottle of RAID - about 2000% cheaper.
