Get a bee trap and fill it with sugar water. Go to your local Lowes and look in the Lawn %26amp; Garden Department for the big green Scott's book located in that department.Purchase an outdoor fogger and do your porch every other day.Be careful with insecticides and follow the safety precautions.
If the vicinity of a bumble bee nest can be avoided, then leaving them alone and waiting for them to die in the fall would be the preferred ';management'; option. Trapping bumble bees is not practical and exclusion techniques may not solve the problem. When controlling bumble bees is necessary, using insecticides to poison bee colonies is the control method of choice. Bumble bees, honey bees and yellowjackets are all controlled the same way. After determining the nest location and nest entrance during the day, wait until night to treat if possible. Wear long-sleeved shirt and trousers and tie sleeves and pants legs shut or pull your socks out over your pant cuffs. Apply insecticide through the entrance hole. Dust formulations of insecticides are preferred (e.g., Sevin dust). Use a duster or ';fling'; insecticide into the hole off an old plastic spoon. Sprays and ready-to-use ';wasp and hornet'; aerosol sprays can also be used, but often with less satisfactory results. Do not plug the entrance hole until all activity has stopped. Be prepared to repeat the treatment if necessary. Finally, seal shut, caulk and paint all openings in the vicinity of the old entrance.
