The ‘Wood-Eater’ Bee

While the carpenter bee don't actually feed on wood, they like to excavate dry, unpainted and weathered wooden objects such as doors, windowsills, roof eaves, railings, decks, fences, and wooden lawn furniture to construct their hives. Large carpenter bees sometimes also bore into painted wood, especially if the paint covering is old and weathered. Additionally, they will commonly defecate on the wall or directly below the opening, causing unsightly stains.

Carpenter Bee Inspection

A carpenter bee’s entrance hole and tunnels are perfectly round and about the diameter of your finger. Coarse sawdust and bee excrement may be present under the hole. Sometimes, burrowing sounds may be heard coming from the hole. Our pest control specialist will thoroughly inspect the property for signs of carpenter bees or any other areas that may become a suitable habitat for them and make recommendations for treatment and wood bee extermination.
