Carpenter Bees questions from Champlain Valley residents
Individual carpenter bee holes cause minor damage, but generations using the same galleries can weaken wood over time. The real damage often comes from woodpeckers enlarging holes to reach larvae.
Male carpenter bees hovering aggressively cannot sting—they have no stinger. Females can sting but rarely do unless handled. The real concern is structural damage, not stings.
We apply botanical dust into galleries to eliminate developing larvae, then seal holes with wood putty. Painting or staining the wood deters new drilling.
Carpenter bees return to the same wood year after year. Sealing holes and finishing bare wood breaks this cycle. Our spring treatments deter new activity before drilling begins.
