    Has anyone had experience getting rid of a Kiyot hive? I have a recess on my doorbell box that I have taped off to keep the kids and drunks from ringing my door bell. This has worked for a year. Now a Kiyot colony has taken residence. I cleaned it out and retyped but they still come back. Thanks

    I have a trick for preventing any insect infestation that is long lasting. I use coal tar and crushed moth balls (naptalina). It works wonderful and very inexpensive. But be warned it stinks!!!!
    Good luck.. Ron

    Ps. I didn't install a door bell for the same kid and drunk reason.

    One more thing, if you want a thinner mix, just thin it with kerosene.
