Access to wall voids: A little bit of caulking and other materials can do wonders for Bee prevention. Bees often seek out small cracks and crevices that lead to open spaces in walls and roofs. Seal any small crevices around the eaves and repair any ventilation holes with fine screen.
By doing these two things around the house, the likely hood of getting Bees reduces significantly. If you are having a problem with Bees, don’t hesitate to call a professional. Bees are a serious pest here in the Southern Desert, do not attempt to treat them yourself!
