Carpenter bees may look harmless, but they can cause significant damage to wooden structures around your home. Unlike honeybees, carpenter bees burrow into wood to lay eggs, creating tunnels that weaken the integrity of decks, siding, fences, and other wooden surfaces. If you've noticed these buzzing pests around your property, it's time to take action. Here’s a complete guide to eliminating carpenter bees effectively with Donaldson Farms' specialized products.
Identifying Carpenter Bee Infestation
Before taking steps to eliminate carpenter bees, it's important to confirm their presence. Common signs of an infestation include:
- Round holes in wooden structures.
- Sawdust beneath these holes.
- A buzzing sound near wooden surfaces.
- Increased sightings of large, black-and-yellow bees hovering around wood.
Best Methods to Kill Carpenter Bees
1. Use Carpenter Bee Spray
Donaldson Farms offers powerful carpenter bee sprays designed to eliminate these pests on contact. Spray directly into their holes to reach the hidden larvae and adults inside. This treatment should be done in the evening when bees are less active.
2. Seal Off Entry Points
After treating the infestation, it’s essential to prevent reinfestation. Seal existing holes with carpenter bee corks, wood filler or caulk to block access. For added protection, apply a coat of paint or varnish, as carpenter bees prefer untreated wood.
3. Use Preventative Treatments
To keep carpenter bees from returning, use Donaldson Farms’ wood treatments and repellents. These products create a protective barrier that deters bees from drilling into wood in the first place.
