When
you have a bee problem in your home, it would be wise to call a bee
removal service as soon as
possible. This is especially true if you or a neighbor has a severe
allergic reaction to bee stings.
Naturally,
you’ll want to keep your home free of bees once a bee removal
service finishes ridding your home of bees. Unfortunately, bees only
nest in an area that provides ample shelter with nearby food
sources—and a brand new swarm of bees will quickly find out why a
previous swarm chose the prime real estate that your home offers.
With that in mind, here are a few tips to help keep bees away from
your home and in the meadows where they belong:
Plug
Up Holes
A
typical bee can enter a hole as small as a quarter of an inch wide.
Locate any holes you may have along your roofing, siding, or walls
and have a professional seal them up. If there are any holes within
any nearby trees, you may want to fill those in as well to prevent
bees from moving in.
Remove
the Honeycomb
The
honeycomb contains a large amount of pheromones that can attract bees
scouting for a new home. If these scouts find your home, you’re
sure to have another bee problem on your hands. Ask your exterminator
to help you locate and remove the honeycomb from your property ASAP.
