Schopen Pest Solutions Helps with Carpenter Bees in Illinois
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.
