BUMBLE BEE DETAILS

BUMBLE BEES CONTROL

Bumble bees are considered beneficial insects because they pollinate the flowers of many plant species.

1. During the day find the location of each nest by observing where the bees disappear into the ground, grass clump, or structure.

2. At night using low background light and while wearing a bee veil, apply an appropriately pesticide. Using an aerosol like D-Force HPX would give a quick knockdown and a residual for 8 weeks. D-Force HPX has the active ingredient Deltamethrin. The deltamethrin is also in Delta Dust which has a longer residual time.

3. Dusts, such as Delta Dust

 work well when applied around and into the the nest area . The dust particles are designed to flow back into the area. It is designed to last for 4-6 months and will kill quickly. It is advise able to use plenty of dust in order to dust completely into the nest area.
There may be hatch outs, further hatching of eggs.

Using a duster with an extension such as the Bellow Bulb duster with a 12" extension may make the job easier.

4. For structural nests, treat with Delta Dust but do not seal the entrance until late summer or early fall, when all hatching has been completed.
