Carpenter Bees Removal & Extermination

Carpenter Bee Entry & Nest Prevention

Carpenter bees are attracted to exposed, untreated, or weathered wood where they can bore nesting tunnels. Seal or repair existing holes in wood surfaces using wood filler or caulk, then repaint or stain exposed wood. Painted and sealed wood is far less attractive to carpenter bees. Focus on decks, eaves, fascia boards, railings, pergolas, fences, and outdoor furniture.

Install fine metal or vinyl screening over vents and other vulnerable openings to block access. Inspect wooden structures in early spring and address small holes immediately, as carpenter bees often return to the same nesting areas year after year.

Reducing Carpenter Bee Attractants

Minimize outdoor clutter that can provide nesting opportunities, such as stacked lumber, firewood, old fencing, or unused wooden items. Store firewood away from buildings and keep it elevated off the ground. Regularly maintain and replace damaged or rotting wood around your property.

Keeping outdoor areas clean and well-maintained reduces the likelihood of carpenter bees establishing nests near your home and helps prevent long-term structural damage.

Professional Carpenter Bee Removal

If carpenter bees are already present, professional removal is the most effective way to stop ongoing damage and prevent future nesting. Carpenter bees tunnel deep into wood, making surface treatments alone ineffective. Our removal process targets active bees, existing tunnels, and nesting sites to eliminate the infestation safely and thoroughly.

After removal, we apply preventative treatments to discourage re-infestation and recommend repairs or sealing of damaged wood. Professional carpenter bee control not only removes current activity but helps protect your home from repeated infestations and costly wood damage.
