Before getting rid of a flying insect, it is important to learn how to identify its species. Honey bees should not be killed, while wasps can be painful and dangerous. Regardless of the type of harmful insects that disturb your peace, you can learn how to properly remove the sting and drive them away from you. Learn to safely catch bees, kill simple wasps, hornets, and other nasty pests.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Catching Bees to Release

1. 1 First, recognize the bee. For some, any flying insect with a sting and a yellow-black color seems to be a "bee". However, there is a significant difference between simple wasps, hornets, and honey bees. There is usually no point in killing a honey bee, so you need to understand the difference between different species and how to deal with pests wisely.
   • Simple wasps and hornets leave painful bites. They usually have a more elongated, even body. These insects are more angular than honey bees. Their nests are small and "paper". Despite their usefulness in the fight against some insects, wasps do not contribute to pollination in any way, so you should just try to kick it out the window. They are less important and not endangered than honey bees. It's okay if you slap the wasp right away.
   • Bee populations are endangered in many regions. Their colonies are on the brink of survival. They have a more rounded body shape, more villi and smaller size than wasps. Relatively harmless, honey bees are an important part of the ecosystem. They take part in the pollination process, which is so important for agriculture. There is no reason to kill bees.
   • Try to look into the nest. Honey bees build their hives out of wax, in the form of honeycombs. Other stinging insects usually build their nests with wood fibers or dirt.
2. 2 Open windows and doors. If a bee is trapped inside, just open the windows to release it. Wait for the bee to smell and freshness of the street and head back to its home. If possible, close those doors to the room that the bee flew into. Leave it there with the window open and go out for an hour or two, giving the insect plenty of time to find its way out.
   • The bee doesn't want to stay in your house and scare you. There are no flowers in your house, and there is nothing good for the bee. Wait for it to fly out. Walk back into the room carefully if you are not sure if the bee has flown out.
3. 3 See if you can catch the bee. If you have a small transparent container with a tight lid, try using it to trap the bee and release it painlessly. This method is much better than just swatting the insect.
   • If you are allergic to bees, it is best to ask someone for help and immediately leave the room with the bee. If this is not possible, proceed as carefully as possible, wearing protective gloves and keeping your allergy medication ready.
4. 4 Wait for the bee to land and catch it. Wait for the bee to sit on a wall or other hard surface and calm down a bit. Catching a nimble bee with a jar right in the air is quite difficult. You can only tease her or even accidentally kill her.
   • Come up smoothly and quickly cover the bee with a jar (or container). Wait for the bee to fly into the interior of the container, then quickly cover it with a lid or slide a sheet of paper under the edges to cover the bee.
5. 5 Free the bee. Take the bee outside and release it. Open the lid, step back quickly and wait for the insect to fly out. Collect the container after completing the rescue operation.
6. 6 Freeze the bee if necessary. If you really need to kill a bee for any reason, place the container in the freezer overnight. Let the insect freeze. It is unlikely that you need to kill a bee, but this method is the most humane and simple.

Method 2 of 3: How to deal with the nest

1. 1 Find a hornet's nest. Sometimes established colonies of bees are divided, and one or more swarms leave the hive. A new swarm can temporarily settle on a branch of a tree or shrub, not far from the old nest, and scout bees fly in search of a suitable place to found a new home. Typically, scout bees find a hollow in a tree, but sometimes for these purposes they choose cracks in the walls of the house.
   • Check in under porch gaps, in new unfinished areas in your home, or in other places suitable for creating a hive. Any place with volumetric voids is suitable. Bees may start to build nests in the wall or in the attic a short distance from the wall penetration.
2. 2 Contact your local beekeeper. If you find honey bees in your home or yard and are causing serious inconvenience, call your local beekeeping organization. Perhaps a representative of the organization will be able to come and collect the bees, as their population is endangered. Then you can easily and safely remove the nests without worrying about being bitten.
3. 3 Apply insecticides as needed. If you find bees, call a beekeeper who can relocate them. If you do find wasps, it is best to apply insecticides to kill them and get them out of your home.
   • If you know the approximate location of the nest, you can lean an ordinary glass upside down against the wall and press your ear on the other side. Move the glass slowly to listen for the buzzing behind the wall and determine the exact location of the nest. Knowing the exact location allows you to spray insecticide directly into the crevice, preferably from the outside of the wall.
4. 4 Sprinkle the nest. Carbaryl or Sevin 5 percent Dust is an insecticide used to kill wasps and other pests in homes. If used incorrectly, you will have to constantly repeat the procedure.
   • By simply sprinkling Sevin on the entrance to the hive, you may not be able to reach the inside of the wasp's nest, which can be quite deep. Therefore, it is very important to get into the nest itself, and not on individual wasps and other pests.
   • You may have to make several tries before you completely wipe out the wasps in the nest. Wear protective clothing and proceed with caution to avoid painful bites.
5. 5 Throw away the rest of the nest. Wearing thick clothing and sturdy rubber gloves, you can safely remove the remains of the nest after the specialist relocates the bees or you destroy the wasps. If you have sprayed insecticides on the hornets nest, it is important to dispose of it properly. If bees lived in the nest and they were successfully resettled, you can safely throw the remains of the insect dwelling into an open area. Throw the nest away from your home.

Method 3 of 3: Killing one pest

1. 1 Find a fly swatter. If you need to get rid of simple wasps and hornets, the tools you usually use to kill flies and other pests are fine.Cheap plastic fly swatters are quite effective in dealing with wasps.
   • Again, there is no point in killing the bees. If they pose any problems for you, just move the nest.
2. 2 Find a bee and wait for it to land. Stand still as close to the flying insect as possible and observe. With the fly swatter at the ready, wait for the moment when it approaches you. Don't move until the bee sits down.
   • It is best to hold the fly swatter over it. If you start swinging when the bee is already sitting down, you can just scare him away. Then it will be too late. Try not to move at all.
3. 3 Slap quickly with a fly swatter. Wave your wrist and slap the insect on the fly swatter. If you do everything right, you will not kill her, but simply stun her. Shovel it away
   • Do not try to swing at the bee while it is flying in the air. Uselessly waving a fly swatter in the air can only anger the insect, and it will sting you.

Tips

• The method of freezing bees also works on the "catch and release" principle.
• Bees are friendly creatures. Contrary to popular belief, they won't sting you if they feel threatened or afraid.

Warnings

• Never contact bees for allergies. Carry epinifrine with you if you have no choice but to catch or drive the bee away from you. This is not recommended, but if absolutely necessary, take care of your own protection (gloves, long clothes, anti-allergy medications).
