How do I bee proof my home?
To prevent bees from settling in your house or yard, keep all holes and cavities in trees or
outside walls filled or covered. Cover the hole of water meter boxes with a rock and check
regularly. Remove any trash or debris that might serve as a shelter for bees, such as over
turned clay pots. Solitary, foraging honeybees are often attracted to evaporative coolers as a
source of water. Bees may be discouraged from using your pet’s water and bird baths as a
watering hole by adding two (2) table spoons of vinegar per gallon of water. Individual bees
gathering pollen and nectar from flowers should be left alone.
