Our Treatment Approach
Natural-first solutions that actually work
We treat active galleries with botanical dust and seal holes. Painting or staining treated wood prevents return. For persistent problems, we apply residual botanical treatments to wood surfaces. We identify conditions common to professional residences and customize every treatment to your property's specific needs.
Prevention Tips
✓
Paint or stain exposed wood surfaces
✓
Fill existing holes after treatment
✓
Use hardwoods for vulnerable areas
✓
Apply almond oil or citrus repellents
✓
Keep wood siding maintained
Frequently Asked Questions
Are carpenter bees destroying my house?
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.
Do male carpenter bees sting?
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.
Will carpenter bees come back?
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.
