The best way to prevent bees from establishing a colony on your property is to utilize the following "bee proofing" suggestions, as recommended by the Texas A&M University Department of Entomology.

• Remove possible nesting sites from around your house and yard.
• Examine the outside walls of your house to make sure bees are not nesting.
• Seal any cracks in the walls, in the foundation, or in the roof.
• Fill any openings bigger than 1/8" in the walls.
• Install small screens over openings such as chimneys, rain spouts, and vent.
• Remove any trash that the bees might use as shelter for a nesting ground.
• Make sure window screens are secure.
