Relatively Risk-Free Methods For Exterminating Bees In Your Home

​Bees are helpful for the ecosystem because they pollinate crops, which is essential for maintaining the food supply. They are important for preserving biodiversity and ecological balance. Three hundred million flowers can be pollinated daily by a single bee colony. However, bees around your home can cause trouble, as their stings can be dangerous. 

How to Get Rid of Bees Naturally
If you discover a swarm of bees within your house, keep your cool and distance. Never try to move the hive! Otherwise, the bees will rush out to guard it, stinging everyone nearby. Instead, use the natural methods listed below. 

1. Vinegar Spray
   Spraying vinegar is a great natural method to drive bees out of your yard. This is simple to make and safe for the environment because it doesn't use poisonous chemicals or insecticides.
   
   Spray the area around the hive with a solution of equal water and vinegar in a spray bottle. Bees dislike the vinegar solution and will leave if it is there.
   
   
2. Citrus
   Citrus spray is another method that you can make to prevent bees from entering your home. Add Slices of lime, lemon, and orange to boiling water in a pot. Spray the mixture around the hive and any areas where you perceive bees coming from.
   
   
3. Garlic Spray
   Another effective natural bee repellent is a mixture of vinegar and garlic. A few fresh garlic cloves should be placed in cooking oil and soaked for a few days before combining with vinegar to create the garlic spray.
   
   The garlic's smell and the vinegar's acidity will disorient the bees, preventing them from flying.
   
   
4. Lure the Bees
   Since bees are drawn to sweet smells, you can set bee traps. Set a trap far from your home. The sweet scent will draw the bees keeping them away from your house.
   
   
5. Citronella Candles
   Using citronella candles is another method to keep bees away from your home. In addition, it deters several bee species and mosquitoes. Bees around your area and those living inside the walls will be forced to leave.
   
   
6. Mothballs
   Bees dislike the smell of mothballs. Hang the mothballs around your property, keeping the deck and yard free of bees. Alternatively, place mothballs close to bee nests; the fragrance will deter bees from returning.
