Carpenter Bee Removal

Why Control Carpenter Bees?

Carpenter bee removal is essential to prevent significant structural damage caused by carpenter bee infestations. If left untreated, the tunnels these bees create can weaken wooden structures, leading to costly repairs. Understanding the importance of timely carpenter bee removal can save homeowners from the hassles of extensive damage.

1. Prevent Structural Damage

Professional control can help prevent further damage.

2. Avoid Stings

Although male carpenter bees cannot sting, females can when threatened.

3. Maintain Aesthetic Appeal

Keep your property looking pristine and free from unsightly holes and stains caused by carpenter bee activities.

A Closer Look at Carpenter Bees

Carpenter bees are solitary critters known for their knack of drilling into wood to establish their nests. Unlike wood-eating termites, they carve out tunnels for nesting, which can be destructive over time. Their buzz gets louder from spring till the early days of summer.

They’re hefty bees with a black and yellow attire, often confused with bumblebees.

They fancy untreated, bare, or weather-beaten softwoods.

Although they prefer a solitary lifestyle, they don’t mind having neighbors close by.

Highly recommend this group!!!
