Celica Forums General Discussion General Bees on my car!

I park my car in the driveway next to a big tree that harbors lots of bees that like to bother my car. I end up having these yellow "poops" all over the hood and the roof. At least I think thats what they are. Can I spray my car with bug spray to keep them off? Anyone have any suggestions? I wash my car Saturday and by Sunday morning, they're all over!

maybe you could just knock their nest off then run.. least they wont be living close to the home of your celi

call up the exterminator (spelling?) and juss knock the nest and have him take care of it... take a video of the exterminator running around and post it up!

#1 cut down dah tree and run like hell
#2 dnt park ur car there
#3 get a high presure washer and wash the car urself it will be a big money saver
#4dnt spray car with bug spray or ur celi will stink foreva
#5 well i dunno about #5 o yea jsut do 1 of the top 4

lol, run!!!, just knock it down, and jump in ur car..

call for some professional help so they get the bees out of there. or else you can be professional and get a bb gun and shoot their nest from ur house or somthing. make sure you dont get out of the house for a week after all that

take a pressure washer to the mother f'ers and run away!

UH? Thanks, but your solutions are really either quite dangerous or plain unrealistic.

Well, there is no nest. See, the tree in front of my house has lots of pollinated flowers. There isn't really a nest I can see. Plus, the tree is like 35 ft tall and 50 feet wide and I can't cut it down without city permit and stuff. My parents wouldn't be too happy either. Is there a chemical antipheromone I can spray that won't smell, but keeps them off.

Theres no where else to park my car. I could park it a block away and walk home. The tree is in the front yard of my house. The answer i'm looking for is spray solution.

hide in your car and shoot them with a bbgun

id just get ahold of an exterminator and see what they would do or use.

i am suprised no has said a car cover...its your best bet

^^^^^
your a thinker!!!!!!!

thank you

and it is you're

dont remind me of my damn mom.

usually im pretty good about grammer on here, that was a slip up.




what the fuck am i talking about, who the hell cares?????

i'd just like to say that if there is no nest in the tree then you don't need some sort of spray because that yellow "poop" on your car isn't bee poo, but just the polin from the flowers falling down..

Are you sure? My car isn't parked under the tree. I was told by my cousin that is what they are. I need pictures to show you. I'll post tomorrow.

yea its the pollen... you dont have to be under the car to get that yellow shit on u... wind is a big factor in making ur life miserable

^^ I was thinking it was pollen also

I wish I had bee stuff on my car.

My neighbor's tree overhangs my driveway by a good bit. That tree happens to be home to over a dozen birds. A dozen very well fed birds. Birds with amazing aim and what I can only guess is some sort of vendetta against me.

After a day of sitting in the driveway, my black celi is covered with dozens big white splats of bird shit. I'm thinking of getting the car painted white, or just not washing it for a few days and let the birds paint it white for me.

u guys are lucky... i have a tree from my neighbor's year that i cant cut down... the tree has tons of birds pollen and falling sap... trying to get that shit off my FC rx-7 is a bitch, especially the convertible top.

^ pour some gas on the plants roots... and the gass kills the tree

i told you a car cover

That requires folding and unfolding. Sounds like a lot of work to me. A few minutes a day too. I come and go alot, so car covers are inconvenient.

its like maybe 5 mintues to put it on then about 3 to take it off

i use a car cover keep the paint from fading i think.. pros and cons to having it though...

might be worth a shot though.. that or maybe just do some trimming on the tree

Goddamn pollen!

umm dont you have a garage?

make your own bee suit and go after them with a blower/sucker! thats what i did

oh gawd your nuts man!

Garage is full of crap, including my dads 1950 Ford Model T (not crap ), which needs a new engine and tranny. Plus there are no garage door openers. I have to open the doors manually. Unless there is something that repels pollen so it doesn't stick, i'm just gonna have to deal with it.

burn the tree down

How about No?!? Last thing my neighborhood needs is another spreading wildfire. Just had one last November.

Something that contacts pollen, causes it to dissolve. Something. I have yellow dots on my car!

hrm paint your car yellow!

juss have it cut down... say its a hazard to the surrounding area when high winds occur... i say give it poison so all the flowers die!!

thats some funny ass stuff man!

I am not sure what you can do since they are attracted to the flowers, but I know Martha Stewart has/had
a bee spray (sold at KMart). It doesn't smell bad, it smells like mint, one of its good selling points.

We use it to spray on forming nests/hives. Not sure how it would work in your situation though.

Susan, we've established the fact that they are not bees, but pollen from the tree. Thanks for the help, though.

I found this company called Fuji Spinning, apparently the same company that discovered Spandex . They make some material that is antistatic, meaning less dust and pollen stick to stuff. Theres also a resin which creates a smooth surface so it brushes right off. What do you guys think?

hey Sancho, those were some good time last year huh? With the wild fires and all. It looked like the world was gonna end.

that stuff might make it easier to clean but it won't stop your car from lookin dirty... good idea though

i reckon a car cover, surely it only takes half a min to put it on & even less to pull it off.

^^^Tell me about it. I remember going to school and the sky was red, ash was colleting in the gutters, and I was out of school for a week. The only fire that came closer was the one that started in Elphin Forest, back when I was in Elementary school.

Luke, you gonna make me do all that work . Forget it, for every problem, there was always a pill or a spray or a lotion that will cure it. I'm lazy and I need a better solution.

I just know somebody is gonna jump on this post and say bee repellant. RTFT (read the f*cking thread!)

Thanks for all your help. If you have other solutions, more reasonable than say destroying a tree or possibly harming myself or others, please post them. Thanks!

oh, didn't read the other threads.
