How to Get Rid of Mortar Bees
- 1). Spray insecticide into each cavity or nest that you find.
- 2). Secure a piece of plastic mesh over the air brickwork, or fill holes with caulk to prevent future infestations.
- 3). Purchase an alternative bee nest that is suitable for mortar or mason bees if you do not want to harm or completely remove the insects from your property and garden area. You can find these at your local home improvement store or garden store. Follow the directions and allow a few weeks for the bees to begin using their new home.
- 4). Plant spearmint next to any areas where you want to discourage mortar bee nesting. The scent of spearmint repels mortar bees.
