Carpenter Bee Pest Control
Schopen Pest Solutions Helps with Carpenter Bees
For help getting rid of carpenter bees within the Northern Illinois and Southeastern Wisconsin areas, contact the professionals at Schopen Pest Solutions. We have dealt with many bee situations, and these particular bees can be especially damaging to your home or other structures on your property, such as log cabins, gazebos, pergolas, and decks. Much like carpenter ants, these insects do not eat wood, but they do tunnel through it to lay their eggs and over the winter. The more carpenter bees you have, the more significant the risk of damage to your property.
Signs Of A Carpenter Bee Infestation
There are several things you can look for if you suspect you may have a problem with carpenter bees. One is a number of round holes in your wood, which is how these insects tunnel into the structure. Another possible sign is small piles of sawdust from the bees boring into the wood. If you see insects flying around that look like carpenter bees, this would also be a pretty good indication that they may be taking up residence in your home. The most common type of carpenter bee resembles a bumble bee in appearance. If you think you have seen one of these bees, it may be a good Idea to take a closer look at the outside area around your home to see if you can spot any signs of them living there. If you do, contacting a professional pest control service such as ours immediately can be the best way to deal with the problem.
Since carpenter bees are solitary insects, treating for them is not as simple as finding the nest and destroying it. First, we’ll have to determine the extent of the problem and then craft a custom solution to deal with it effectively. Also, even though these bees rarely sting, when disturbed, the females are capable of doing so, which can cause an allergic reaction in some people.
Life Cycle of the Carpenter Bees in Your Home
These flying insects are attracted to untreated wood. Since the carpenter bee is rather large, the holes created accommodate its size and end up rather sizable as well. These bugs are building nests where future bees will emerge later on down the line. As new carpenter bees come out, they will begin the process of tunneling into the wood to lay eggs of their own, and the life cycle will start all over again. Pest control services can bring this to an abrupt end and save the wood from further damage.
Custom Plans to Get Rid of Carpenter Bees
If you think you have seen one of these bees, it may be a good idea to take a closer look at the outside area around your home to see if you can spot any signs of them living there, look closely at door trims and soffits. If you do, contact a professional pest control service such as Schopen Pest Solutions immediately.

Here’s What Some Satisfied Customers Have to Say
Schopen was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and they accommodated a change in my
schedule. Luke arrived 10 minutes early and got right to diagnosing the issue. The source of the tiny
critters was found and treated. What a relief! I could not be more pleased with a company and the
service. (Office staff on the phone Kimm and Kiara were professional and helpful.) Thank you!!!
Everyone I dealt with was EXTREMELY knowledgeable. Pricing was fair. And best of all-my ants are
gone.
The guy called at the beginning of the time frame window and told me when he would be coming. It
is so nice to get a courtesy call when you have pets and kids. He was efficient and took care of what
we needed.
Kevin did an excellent professional job with the required inspection. We then hired him to treat our
home for spiders. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient.
We hired Schopen to deal with mice we began seeing recently. They were on time, and the Tech Corey was super awesome! He was very informative and explained everything. Listened to our concerns and gave good information back. He found potential entry points and filled them. We had hired a different company before them and wasn't satisfied. Corey went behind them and found some things the other company should have. We have already noticed that there is barely any activity. best part of it, they don't try to lock you into a contract like most pest control companies do, They let you decide what you are comfortable with.
This customer rated you highly for professionalism, responsiveness, and work quality.
This company was very responsive. Once they arrived at my house the workers were very friendly, explained the situation, and how follow up consultations worked. After the first and second follow up visit the company called to see if we had any other questions. Which was very thoughtful.
