Do you mean you cemented over the weep holes in the brick around your house? Those gaps in the brick mortar are necessary for proper drainage. Brick is porous so it will absorb water and then accumulate behind the bricks unless the weep holes are there to allow the water to drain.

I had mason bees living in the brick around my garage. Instead of murdering them all. I put out an insect house on a nearby tree, than cemented over all their homes well they were empty.
They promptly redirected to the new home, everyone was happy. Sometimes you have to be creative and put in a tad more work to redirect supposed pests.

This is where the cement chipped off at the top of the garage door and the inside of the brick was exposed from below. Not a weep hole.

(If anything we humans are the “pests” and “invasive species” ahaha)
