Carpenter Bee Removal
Carpenter bees can damage wooden structures, causing costly repairs if left unchecked. Our professional carpenter bee removal services protect your property from wood damage.
How to Identify Carpenter Bee Infestations in Your Home
Carpenter bee infestations can be spotted in specific areas around wooden structures. Look for signs of these wood-boring bees in the following locations:
Wood Siding
Carpenter bees often bore into the exposed wood siding. Look for small, round holes in wood panels.
Decks and Patios
Wood decks and patio structures attract carpenter bees, with holes usually near edges or undersides.
Eaves and Overhangs
These areas offer shelter, making them prime nesting spots. Check for holes under the eaves or soffits.
Wooden Fences
Holes along wooden fence posts or panels indicate carpenter bee activity and possible infestation.
Sheds and Garages
Wooden frames of outdoor buildings attract carpenter bees. Look for new holes or sawdust around entry points.
Why Does Carpenter Bee Invade the Home?
Carpenter bees are drawn to unpainted or untreated wood, where they can drill tunnels to nest. Their burrowing weakens wood, potentially leading to structural damage if untreated. Carpenter bees are not aggressive but may cause significant harm to wooden parts of your home.
Prevention Tips
- Regularly inspect wooden areas for new holes or sawdust.
- Paint or treat exposed wood surfaces to deter bees.
- Repair damaged wood promptly to avoid further infestation.
- Keep outdoor wood structures well-maintained.

Carpenter bee - Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for carpenter bees to disappear after pest control?
After professional pest control treatment, carpenter bees generally begin to disappear within a few days to a week. The exact time depends on the severity of the infestation and the methods used by the exterminator. Treatments target both adult bees and larvae within the nests, and follow-up checks may be recommended to confirm full eradication and prevent any re-infestation.
What’s the best way to permanently get rid of carpenter bees?
Achieving permanent carpenter bee removal requires professional treatment and proactive prevention. Exterminators use insecticidal sprays and dusts that eliminate adult bees and larvae within the nests. After treatment, sealing all holes with wood putty or caulk, followed by painting or treating exposed wood surfaces, discourages bees from returning. Routine inspections and maintenance further ensure your home stays carpenter bee-free.
Is carpenter bee pest control safe for my pets and family?
Yes, reputable pest control services use pet- and family-safe methods. Exterminators apply treatments according to strict safety guidelines, often using eco-friendly products that minimize any risks to people and pets. Discuss any concerns with your pest control provider for extra peace of mind, and follow their guidance to ensure a safe environment during and after the treatment.
What kills carpenter bees immediately?
Specialized insecticidal sprays and dusts for carpenter bees can deliver an instant kill when applied directly to bees or their nests. These products are powerful and effective but should be used with caution, as improper application can pose risks to humans and pets. Professional Carpenter bee exterminators are trained to use these treatments safely and precisely for optimal results.
What naturally deters carpenter bees?
Carpenter bees avoid painted or insecticide-treated wood, making these surfaces less attractive for nesting. They’re also repelled by natural deterrents like citrus oil sprays, which can be applied to wooden areas to discourage nesting. Regularly treating exposed wood with paint, stain, or natural repellents can help keep carpenter bees away from your property.
How long does carpenter bee pest control service take?
The time needed for carpenter bee pest control varies based on infestation size. Most professional treatments take around 1-2 hours, covering thorough inspection, targeted treatment, and preventive measures. Severe infestations may need additional visits to ensure complete eradication. Pest control provider can provide a more specific timeframe based on your situation and inspection.
