Professional Carpenter Bee Extermination
Carpenter bees bore into wood, and over time, that adds up. They tend to target decks, railings, siding, and fascia boards, tunneling through to lay their eggs and creating damage that worsens with each season.
Here is the thing people do not always realize. Carpenter bees do not cause damage as fast as termites, but they attract woodpeckers. Woodpeckers zero in on those tunnels, pecking away at your wood to get to the larvae inside. What starts as a few small holes can turn into serious structural damage if nothing is done about it.
At D-Bug Pest Control, our carpenter bee treatment is built around reducing activity and protecting your property from further damage. We inspect the affected wood, apply targeted treatments directly into the tunnels, and work to seal entry points to cut off future access. The goal is carpenter bee control that actually holds up over time. If you have noticed round holes in your wood or heard activity in your eaves or deck framing, now is a good time to get it looked at. D-Bug is here to help you figure out the best path forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I find a nest near my home?
Stay away from it and don’t try to spray or knock it down. Call a professional—some nests house thousands of aggressive insects.
Do carpenter bees sting?
Yes, but only female carpenter bees can sting, and they generally do so only if they feel threatened or provoked. Either way, we never recommend attempting to get rid of carpenter bees yourself; it's essential to have a professional address the problem as soon as possible.
How can I tell if I have a wasp or hornet problem?
Signs include frequent insect activity, visible nests under eaves, decks, or trees, and buzzing sounds from walls or attics. We can identify the species and the level of infestation.
Is it dangerous to try and remove a nest myself?
Yes! Many stinging insects are highly aggressive when their nest is disturbed. DIY removal can lead to serious injury—especially if you’re allergic or the nest is hidden.
Do you offer inspections for stinging insect problems?
Yes. We begin with a free inspection to identify the insect species and locate the nest.
Do you remove the nest after treatment?
Yes. After treatment, we remove and properly dispose of the nest.
What attracts wasps and hornets to a yard?
Wasps and hornets are attracted to areas with food sources, shelter, and protected nesting spots such as eaves, trees, and outdoor structures.
What types of stinging insects do you treat?
Our stinging insect control service treats carpenter bees, yellow jackets, hornets, and wasps.
When are stinging insects most active?
Stinging insects are generally most active during the warmer months when colonies are growing and searching for food.
Where do yellow jackets usually build nests?
Yellow jackets often build nests in the ground, wall voids, shrubs, or other sheltered areas around homes.
Why are carpenter bees a problem?
Carpenter bees tunnel into wood to lay eggs, and the damage can worsen over time and attract woodpeckers that further damage the structure.
Why do stinging insects become aggressive?
Stinging insects typically become aggressive when their nest is disturbed or when they feel their colony is threatened.
