Preventing Bees and Wasps from Making Their Home Inside Your Home

There are many different ways that bees can enter your home, yard, and business. Every home is completely different in terms of the types of roofs, gutters, overhangs, and materials used. Bees are very clever creatures and can make a home or nest out of almost anywhere, but they seem to stick to sneaky places that are often hard for humans to reach. 

To keep bees out of your home, office, or other buildings, I employ several effective bee management and bee prevention techniques. 

For starters, I use a clear liquid solution that is applied in the many crevices, overhangs, decks, gaps, or that may be present on the exterior of your home. It can also be applied inside your attic. The application is guaranteed to keep bees, wasps, and other stinging insects from nesting inside your home. 

Protection can be extended to your entire yard, including trees, shrubs, and bushes or sheds.

If bees, wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets do nest on your property after treatment, I will exterminate them at no additional charge.

Only materials and methods approved by Federal and State regulatory agencies are used.

Protect your home and keep your family safe by hiring The Bee Hunter to prevent bees and stinging insects from invading your space and tampering with your peace of mind.

Tips on How You Can Prevent Bees, Hornets, Carpenter Bees, and Ground Bees from Invading Your Home

Preventing bees, hornets, carpenter bees, and ground bees from taking up residence in your home involves proactive measures and ongoing maintenance. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to keep these insects at bay:

1. Seal Entry Points

Bees and hornets can enter your home through small cracks and gaps. Inspect your home thoroughly and seal any openings around windows, doors, utility pipes, and vents. The Bee Hunter can help you with this process!

2. Properly Store Food and Waste

Sweet scents attract bees and hornets. Ensure that food is stored in airtight containers and that spills are cleaned up promptly. Keep garbage cans sealed and away from the home, and regularly clean them to remove residue that might attract insects.

3. Maintain Your Yard

Keeping your yard tidy can deter bees and hornets. Regularly mow the lawn, trim bushes, and remove any piles of wood, leaves, or other debris where insects might nest. Avoid planting flowers and plants that attract bees near the home.

4. Secure Outdoor Structures

Carpenter bees are attracted to untreated wood. Paint or varnish wooden structures such as decks, fences, and sheds to make them less appealing to these insects. Inspect wooden structures regularly for signs of carpenter bee activity, such as small holes and sawdust.

5. Manage Moisture

Bees and hornets are drawn to water sources. Fix any leaks and ensure proper drainage around your home. Empty standing water from birdbaths, flowerpots, and gutters to reduce attraction.

6. Use Natural Repellents

Certain plants and essential oils can repel bees and hornets. Planting citronella, mint, and eucalyptus around your home can help deter these insects. You can also use essential oils like peppermint and tea tree oil mixed with water as a natural spray around entry points and nesting areas.

7. Install Mesh Screens

Install fine mesh screens on windows, doors, and vents to prevent bees and hornets from entering your home. Ensure that these screens are in good condition without any holes or tears.

8. Professional Bee Control

If you have a persistent bee, hornet, carpenter bee, or ground bee problem, it may be time to call in professionals. Bee control experts can identify the species, locate nests, and use safe and effective methods to remove them and prevent future infestations.

Preventing bees, hornets, carpenter bees, and ground bees from invading your home requires vigilance and proactive measures. By maintaining your home and yard, sealing entry points, and using natural repellents, you can significantly reduce the chances of these insects becoming a problem. If needed, don’t hesitate to seek professional help to ensure your home remains bee-free.
