Since 2011, our team of seasoned professionals has utilized eco-friendly integrated pest management (IPM) principles to effectively tackle carpenter bee problems.
The Importance of Professional Carpenter Bee Control
Carpenter bees are a destructive pest that can cause significant damage to wooden structures. Unlike social honeybees, carpenter bees are solitary and burrow into wood to create tunnels and galleries for nesting. Although they feed on pollen and act as pollinators, the damage they inflict on wood can compromise the integrity of your home.
Professional pest control services are essential for swiftly addressing carpenter bee infestations and preventing extensive wood damage. Regular inspections and treatments by our EcoForce exterminators can detect early signs of carpenter bee activity and ensure effective eradication. EcoForce offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee for all our customers. Our commitment is to eliminate your carpenter bee problems thoroughly and ensure they don’t return. If carpenter bees do reappear after treatment, our team will return at no extra cost.
Carpenter Bee Treatment Services
- Inspection: If you notice carpenter bee holes in the wood around your home, it is essential to have an experienced pest control expert inspect your property. The team at EcoGuard knows exactly where to look and what signs indicate carpenter bee activity, ensuring accurate identification and effective treatment of the wood damage.
- Carpenter Bee Exclusion: Exclusion strategies are vital to prevent reinfestation. This involves sealing carpenter bee galleries with wood putty and treating wood surfaces with sealers to deter further activity. Proper exclusion helps ensure that the bees do not return to the same nesting sites.
- Foaming Aerosols: Using expanding pesticide foam, we can fill the holes and galleries created by carpenter bees. This method delivers a residual pesticide that kills the carpenter bees on contact without contaminating the surrounding environment. This targeted approach focuses on eliminating the wood-destroying pests while protecting valuable pollinator species.

Carpenter Bee Information
Identifying Carpenter Bees
Carpenter bees are large, robust insects that are typically black or metallic blue with a shiny, hairless abdomen. Males have a distinctive yellow or white face, while females are all black. These bees can measure up to an inch in length and are often mistaken for bumblebees, though they lack the latter's fuzzy appearance.
Carpenter Bee Behavior
Carpenter bees are solitary insects that do not form colonies like other bees. Instead, they bore into wood to create individual nests, which can lead to structural damage over time. While they do not consume the wood, their nesting behavior can weaken wooden structures, especially when multiple bees are involved.
Carpenter Bee Nesting Habits
Carpenter bees do not have a hierarchical colony structure. Each female carpenter bee creates and tends to her own nest, laying eggs and provisioning them with pollen and nectar. The nests are often reused and expanded each year, which can exacerbate wood damage. Males are territorial and may appear aggressive, but they do not have stingers.
Preventing Carpenter Bees
To prevent carpenter bee infestations, it is crucial to eliminate potential nesting sites by sealing cracks and crevices in wood surfaces. Applying paint or varnish to exposed wood can deter bees from boring into it. Regular maintenance and inspections, combined with targeted treatments, can help create a barrier to keep these destructive bees out and protect your property from damage.
Signs of Carpenter Bees
Homeowners should be vigilant for several signs of carpenter bee activity, including:
- ½ to ¾ inch round holes in wood around your home
- Small piles of wood shavings beneath these holes
- Yellow staining or discoloration around the holes in the wood
- The presence of large, dark bees exhibiting erratic and sometimes aggressive flight patterns
