These wood-boring insects create perfectly round holes in wooden structures, potentially compromising the integrity of your deck, fascia boards, siding, and other wooden elements. At Summit Pest Solutions, we provide effective, long-lasting carpenter bee treatments to protect your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are carpenter bees the same as bumble bees?
No. While they look similar, carpenter bees have a shiny, hairless abdomen and create perfectly round holes in wood. Bumble bees have fuzzy abdomens and nest in the ground or existing cavities.
Will carpenter bees destroy my home?
While a single carpenter bee tunnel may not cause significant damage, multiple generations of bees can create extensive tunnel systems that compromise wooden structures. Early treatment is key to preventing serious damage.
How long does carpenter bee treatment last?
Our treatments typically provide protection throughout the active season. We recommend annual inspections and preventive treatments, particularly before spring, to maintain long-term protection.
Is the treatment safe for my family and pets?
Yes. We use targeted treatments that are safe for your family and pets while being effective against carpenter bees. We'll provide specific safety instructions for each treatment.
Do you guarantee your carpenter bee treatments?
Yes. We stand behind our work and offer service guarantees. Ask our technicians about our protection plans and warranty options during your consultation.
