I am not even sure if this is a full on scamA confidence game or other fraudulent scheme, especially for making a quick profit; but it seems like it. And before anyone thinks, yes I do understand paying a person for labor. So here is the deal, our yard has bees in it, not so much an issue unless you are allergic to them. We called a local bee place and they said they could spray the house and yard each month for more than what we pay in mortgage payments. Scam or no scam? If you buy the products and do it yourself (which I cant) its more than 90% less than what they charge....

The scamA confidence game or other fraudulent scheme, especially for making a quick profit; doesn't need to be strictly cheating, but can also include ripping someone off on the open. The accent is on the ripping off.

And for the bees, what are you waiting for, do it yourself! :)

Unbelievable. Some companies must think we are stupid. Yep, you can go to your local home improvement store and they will happily lead you to the bee spray.

There are some sprays that can be used here but not all compared to some others states/counties from what I have read up. I am still looking to have it done but I will pay a friend/family member to do it, I just can not get up on the ladder anymore and the chance I am stun and rushed to the ER is just more than I am willing to deal with.

If you can't do it yourself, get a brother-in-law or uncle who want to make a few bucks and get them to spray the bees for you. They'll be glad to do it if you are paying!
