Title: Not exactly a "removal"
Post by: hardwood on January 30, 2012, 05:54:40 pm

I got a call from the owner of three italian ice shops about bees running his customers off. I stopped by today to have a look and found many bees visiting the trash can outside. They were after the sweet stuff the customers would pitch. I squirted down the cans with a new type of bee repellant (like bee quick) that I've been asked to test and stole some trash can lids that close from the plaza they are attached to and within an hour the bees were all but gone.

Funny how people don't think of the obvious.

Usually the obvious is a can of Raid!  Glad to hear you saved those bees Hardwood. 

As a side note: They probably didn’t tell you what the active ingredients were in the new spray did they?   :-D

Just that it's made from all natural essential oils.
