How NOT to get rid of bees

You know how irritating it is when you accidentally get a bee or wasp inside your home? Or find a hive attached to your house?

Well Franklyn Pigott Jr. definitely knows and now he knows how not to try to get rid of the irritating insects.

He was trying to keep bees off his property when he accidentally set his house on fire! He was attempting to destroy the nest when he came up with the idea of mixing a product called Real Kill indoor fogger with Wd-40. Why he mixed the two products I have no idea, but he did get blazing results when the mixed products became a flame thrower.

His attempt to get rid of a bee hive ended up causing his homes vinyl siding to melt. I suppose that he was successful in getting rid of the bees, as I’m sure the fire took out the nest.

    I awoke one day to a buzzing of a honeybee, then many more appeared. They were squeezing their bodies through my electrical outlet because they had built a nest in the wall. If they are honeybees I found out if your trap them (close up the exits) they will not be able to get out to get honey and somehow this makes them die.

    I hear that Mr. Piggot is in the process of cleaning his new home with a mix of chlorine bleach and ammonia ;-)

    I remember as a boy with my best friend attacking a bee ridden tree with a pair of cricket bats. I don’t even remember why we were doing it now. I like bees. Got off pretty lucky, I was stung once on the bridge of my nose… ran off crying and then burst out laughing.

    I have seen a car with a beard of bees around the towbar (a queen was trapped in the car boot). I have seen a swarm of bees take flight…. it is a truly amazing sight.

    I remember as a boy I swallowed a couple of bees…ouch did that ever hurt. Swollen throat is very dangerous.
