Bees will often seek shelter in bushes and shrubs to make their hives. Bushes offer safety and protection in a quiet place. The problem, however, is that bees are often not discriminatory about the location of the bushes. Beehives in bushes near homes potentially puts you in danger of getting stung. For this reason, remove the bees from bushes close to your house.
Things You'll Need
Pesticide spray containing the ingredient cypermethrin
Gloves
Pants
Long-sleeved shirt
Goggles
Mask
Watch the bush carefully for a day and pay close attention to the areas in which the bees come in and out of the shrub. You need to know exactly where the hive is so you can get rid of it quickly.
Watch the time of day for signs of dusk. Bees are typically inside their hive this time of the day and more docile. The dark skies also make it harder for bees to see, which may make them less likely to attack.
Spray the hive with a pesticide that contains cypermethrin. If you can see the exact location of the hive, aim the product directly that way and saturate the hive. If branches and growth block you from seeing the hive directly, spray the product in the area of the hive as best you can. Chances are, you will make enough contact with the hive to eliminate the bees.
Watch the bush the next day to monitor for any signs of bees. If you still see bees coming in and out of the bush, try the process again at dusk.
