this is kind of off topic but while hanging a ladder stand saturday i was unfortunate and got attacked by groundbees. needless to say the ladder stand is sitting right on top of them. i was wandering if anyone had any home remedies to get rid of them. and fire is not a option as its the neighbors property. and ouch those things hurt.

Concentrated mixture of Dawn dish washing soap in a gallon of water (about half a cup). Wait until dark and pour the whole gallon down the hole. Adios bees! cool

Seven garden dust. Go in at night and dump a bunch on their hole. The bees track it into the nest and kills them all in a day. Its always worked for me. h.h.

will this dawn dish soap and water method work on ant hills? I have some mega ant hills on my property down in southern Indiana.


Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Those bees must be out in force this year. I was attacked this past Sunday setting up a stand. Stung three times. I went straight to TSC and bought a couple cans of spray and went back to take care of business. Good to know the Dawn and Water will work in the future.
