CARPENTER BEES
You might notice large, black bees hovering around the outside of your home. These are usually carpenter bees looking for a favorable site to build their nest.
These bees are generally harmless unless attacked so it is best to leave them alone.
Carpenter bees will tunnel into wood in order to build a nest. Typical sites include wood siding, eaves, facia boards, window trim and wooden outdoor furniture.
Sometimes you will see sawdust outside beneath the entry hole.
They make a perfectly round hole around the size of a nickel and go in an inch or two and make a sharp turn and then they lay their eggs inside this tunnel they have built. They place a ball of pollen in the nest for the eggs to feed on and continue to bring new pollen back to the nest through the Spring and Summer.
Carpenter bees prefer wood that is unpainted or weathered. Wood with fresh paint or stain is less susceptible to their attack.
Our treatment for these bees is to treat both the existing holes the carpenter bees have made as well as adjacent areas to prevent reinfestation. We also offer a preventive services around the entire wood trim of the house to prevent carpenter bees from attacking the wood.
We always recommend that all wood trim around the house be painted or stained regularly so that the wood is less susceptible to attack. After we treat existing holes we recommend waiting a week and then these holes plugged with wood filler and repainted or restained.
We can treat both small problems of one or two holes as well as entire homes and other structures that need an extensive treatment.
We utilize pressurized sprayers, bee poles, dust sticks and power spray rigs in order to eliminate any carpenter bee problem.
