Carpenter Bees Pest Control

Carpenter Bee Control In Southern California

The Carpenter Bee is a common pest in southern California where sources of dry timber are readily present. Carpenter bees are considered wood destroying organisms by the state of California, and require similar treatments as other wood destroying species of pests, such as termites and carpenter ants. To control Carpenter bees, we use low toxicity, non-repellent chemicals. In comparison to traditional pesticides, non-repellent treatments represent a major leap forward in control. Carpenter bees come in contact with the treatment, killing the active bees as well as their larva.

Our service begins with a licensed technician providing a full inspection of your residence and property. During the inspection, your Carpenter bee control technician will identify potential problem areas around your home or office. After the source of your problem areas have been identified, your technician will point out other potential Carpenter bee harborages and steps you can take to reduce future Carpenter bee infestations. Your technician will create a customized bee treatment plan for year-round protection, using the most effective and environmentally-conscious Carpenter bee control solutions.

Quick Facts About Carpenter Bees

Habits

Unlike bumble bees, carpenter bees are solitary insects. Female carpenter bees will chew a tunnel into a piece of wood to build a nest gallery. The bits of wood she chews and deposits outside the nest are called frass. The male carpenter bee guards the outside of the nest. He does not have a stinger, but his constant buzzing causes concern for some.

Habitat

Carpenter bees bore through soft woods to lay eggs and protect their larvae as they develop.

Threats

Carpenter bees do not pose a public health threat, but they can damage wood through their nest building.

Prevention

Carpenter bees prefer bare wood, so painting and staining wood can sometimes deter them. However, they will sometimes attack stained or painted wood, so contact a pest control professional for assistance.
