Hot Spots for Carpenter Bees Around Your Home

Are you finding holes in your home’s exterior molding, awnings, and other exposed wood? Chances are, you might have carpenter bees - Broomall, PA bee control will help!

Owning a home always comes with caveats, maintenance being one of the major costs a homeowner has to bear when damage occurs. Damage can come from innumerable sources, including wind, rain, flooding, lightning, and fallen branches, but have you considered how pests could harm your property? Unlike a tree branch landing on the roof or feeling a wooden board soften under your feet from water damage, pest damage is often hard to detect, meaning a substantial problem could grow right under your nose. Most pests, thanks to their tiny size, are difficult to spot in the first place, and the damage they cause can occur anywhere in your home, including in your walls or high up on the roof, where you can’t see it. This issue is particularly pronounced in the case of carpenter bees, large bees that drill into wood for shelter and to raise their eggs. Because these insects can fly, the damage they cause often isn’t at eye level or below - it’s most often above the head, out of sight and out of mind. However, there are signs to look out for. Carpenter bees gravitate to untreated soft wood that could be on your roof’s awning, deck railing, porch ceiling, or even outdoor furniture. If you don’t spy a hole anywhere, instead, keep an eye out for small piles of sawdust, an inevitable product from a burrowing carpenter bee. 

Identifying where carpenter bees are drilling is one thing, and controlling them is another. These pests can cause significant damage over time, and DIY solutions often won’t keep them away for long, making professional intervention especially important for long-term coverage. At Mosquito Squad Plus, we understand how serious carpenter bee issues can become, which is why we offer powerful treatment strategies to ensure they know not to burrow into your home any longer.
