Carpenter Bee Care
Pest Care Guide
About This Pest
Why They're Here
Carpenter bees bore into untreated or weathered wood to create nesting tunnels for their eggs. Decks, fascia boards, and porch rails are common targets. They're not aggressive — males may hover nearby but can't sting.
What to Watch For
Perfectly round half-inch holes in wood surfaces, sawdust below the holes, and large bees hovering near wooden structures.
Our Natural Approach
Targeted Treatment
We use targeted, botanical-based treatments to address the source of the problem — not just the symptoms. Our approach focuses on long-term results, not quick fixes.
Safe for Your Family
Everything we use is botanical-based and formulated to minimize risk to your family and pets. No synthetic pyrethroids. EPA 25(b) exempt.
How You Can Help
- Paint or stain all exposed wood surfaces — carpenter bees prefer untreated wood.
- Fill existing holes after treatment to prevent reuse.
- Consider hardwood or composite materials for repairs.
- Keep an eye on fascia boards, deck rails, and porch ceilings.
Family & Pet Considerations
Our treatments are botanical-based and formulated to minimize risk to your whole family — including children and pets. All products are EPA 25(b) exempt.
