How to exclude Google Analytics traffic with < 1 second visit duration

I'd like to exclude BOT traffic from Google Analytics reports and it seems that the best way may be to exclude visits that have less than 1 second duration. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks

There are a few additional things you could do to filter out BOT traffic (and this is a good resource: http://www.analyticsedge.com/2014/12/removing-referral-spam-google-analytics/). But to answer your question, you could set up an advanced segment, where the "Time on page" is set to greater than 60 seconds. Note that you could potentially be filtering out legitimate traffic as well by doing it this way.
