I have some kind of bee or wasp nest in my dogwood tree. I got stung when mowing the grass and thought it was from the ground but couldn’t find anything. Then I got stung again and ran. When I went back I could see this ball like a softball in the tree with something flying around it. Lots of long looking wasps but could be bees. I have a sprayer that can reach maybe 12-14 feet. What do I need to spray? You guys helped me with roaches last year. Now its bees.
Your best option will be Prothor.
It’s odorless and undetectable by any insect. This means they won’t know they’ve been sprayed and then in the days following the treatments, they will bring the active into their hive and kill all occupants. This will take 2-3 days so understand it won’t work immediately.
To treat, we recommend you spray the nest for 15-20 seconds every evening, after dark, from 15-20 feet away. Be sure to wear protective gear just in case but in general, if you have the sprayer set up to spray and then saturate it for 15-20 seconds in the dark without getting too close, they won’t have enough time to figure out where to focus their response.
Mix 1 oz of Prothor to a gallon of water and plan on using 16-32 oz of the mixture when treating. And do this for 3 nights in a row – even if you don’t see any activity on the last night. If you have any spray left over after the last evening, use it on the homes foundation. This mixture will go bad after 5-6 days so no need to waste any left over.
Prothor can be used this way for most any insect nest like ants, bees, wasps – even termites! Use it for treting nests in the ground, on the side of your home, in a tree, etc. Basically anywhere you can spray it.
