Carpenter Bees Pest Control: Wood-Destroying Pests

Despite their name, carpenter bees are not beneficial like honey bees. These large, black-and-yellow insects are considered pests due to their habit of drilling into wood to create nesting tunnels. Unlike termites that eat wood, carpenter bees simply burrow into it to lay their eggs.

This tunneling behavior can cause significant structural damage over time, especially to untreated soft woods like cedar, redwood, and pine. Carpenter bees excavate oval-shaped holes about 1/2 inch wide and can extend their tunnels 8-10 inches into solid wood.

Expert Carpenter Bees Pest Control

Do not wait to have carpenter bee damage assessed and treated. The longer their tunnels go unaddressed, the more structural integrity can be compromised. While their stinger is smooth and relatively harmless to humans, carpenter bees will dive-bomb and buzz around aggressively if their nesting sites are disturbed.
