We have been fighting aggressive bees in a brick building next to our pool for 8 years. "Experts" are NONE around here! Most of the exterminators in three surrounding counties have "guaranteed their removal". HA! We have tried..... MOTH BALLS in the attic and closets....(worked great but burned your eyes terribly when you were in the pool!) DEMON Water solluable chemical sprayed all over walls and eaves....(works fairly well till it rains!) CHEMICAL BOMS set off at night when they least expect it. EVEN TRIED PUTTING THE AIR CONDITIONER ON.....they loved it! SEVIN DUST in the attic around the eaves and fixtures....(doesn't work but about a week) PUTTING GREAT STUFF in the cracks and crannies...(how do you get that stuff off of you!?!) TEXAS A&M AGGIE SUGGESTION: REMOVAL OF HONEY COMB IN WALLS..(soaped and cloroxed the area..... seal all of the holes ....easier said than done...virtually impossible.... with brick meeting vinyl siding)....they just find another tee tiny hole behind a light fixture or settlement foundation crack.....and .....in those little pistols go again.... Through all of this ...I will say they are not as bad as they once were.....but I am getting older....and a little tired of all of the "guarantees!" The scarry thing is .....I find myself talking to them like you do! The swarms are not as massive....but it is still bad enough to keep the grand kids from wanting to swim...and I worry about my little scottish terrier ....who hunts anything that moves.... I watched a portion of your program on the SCIENCE channel...We haven't tried the "soaping them method". What proportion is necessary...and just regular dish soap? There was a killer bee death a couple of years back...just a few miles from us...and it concerns me that the bees tempers flare with me mowing twice a week around the bath house....and they really get aggressive when I crank up Jimmy Buffett or Kenny Chesney! Guess we have a "perfect location" for housing here. We are surrounded by crops and have two ponds.....but they prefer the pool front location! Any suggestions? Hopefully I have given you a few. Really enjoyed the part I caught of the show "Thrill Seekers" on Science Channel. Hope to get to tape it to see the entire show! Bless you and your family, Debbie Bruce El Campo, TX

Hi Reed, Saw your show on Discovery and loved it! I'm a volunteer Firefighter/EMT in Central New York State. We normally use firefighting foam on fires. Would that kill bees as well as the soapsuds that you use does? I saw this video on CNN - it got me thinking: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2009/04/15/brace.fl.firefighters.bees.wptv Thanks for any advice you can give us!

As a matter of fact I do have a bee problem. I can't find the nest and they have been getting in my house for years. I've even had terminex guys here and they couldn't find it. They thought they could be coming from the soffets but were not able to confirm it because they said it would be too hard to check in there. Is there a way I could find out where they are? sometimes I'll find them in the basement and sometimes I'll find them in 3rd floor bedroom. By the way I really admire what you do and feel it takes a very brave person you're my hero (seriosly) Thank you very much for your prompt attention. Carrie.

I watched your special on tv tonight did i hear u say that soapwater spray kills the bees instantly? what kind of soap?

Dish soap will do. Do you have a bee problem? Like I always say 'don't try this at home'!

The bees scared me to death! They just all came out of nowhere!! With Reed's super fast service, they were gone in no time!
