Carpenter Bee Treatment for Southern Michigan Homes and Businesses
Carpenter bees are wood-boring insects that drill perfectly round holes into wood to create nesting tunnels. While they do not eat wood, their drilling can weaken structural components, damage exterior finishes, and create messy stains from their waste. Over time, repeated infestation can cause serious deterioration to decks, fascia boards, porches, and outdoor furniture.
Wood Pest Pros provides reliable carpenter bee treatment services designed to eliminate active bees and protect wooden surfaces from future damage. Our technicians locate nesting holes, treat internal galleries, and apply preventative solutions to discourage new nesting attempts.

Carpenter Bee Treatment - Frequently Asked Questions
Carpenter Bee Treatment Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
Do carpenter bees sting?
Male carpenter bees cannot sting; females can, but rarely do unless handled or threatened.
Will painting wood prevent carpenter bees?
Painting or staining helps reduce nesting but does not guarantee complete prevention.
Do treatments kill bees inside the tunnels?
Yes. We apply targeted products inside galleries to eliminate bees inside the wood.
Can carpenter bee damage get worse over time?
Yes. Bees return to the same sites each spring and expand their tunnels, increasing structural damage.
Should holes be sealed?
Yes, but only after treatment. Sealing too early can trap live bees inside or force them to drill new holes.
