Why Carpenter Bees Destroy Decks and Fascia

Carpenter bees drill perfect half-inch circular holes into untreated wood — decks, fascia, log homes, pergolas, porch rails. Males hover and dive-bomb (but can't sting); it's the females tunneling inside the wood that cause the damage. A single tunnel starts at 6 inches but branches into a 10-foot gallery over 2–3 years. Worse, woodpeckers chew the wood open to get at the larvae, turning a half-inch hole into a 2-inch gouge.

Hole Size
Perfect ½-inch circle
Gallery Length
10+ feet over 2–3 years
Target
Untreated wood: deck, fascia, pergola

Professional treatment kills the larvae inside the gallery, then seals the hole so the next generation can't reuse it.

Why DIY Treatment Isn't Enough

The DIY Problem

Plugging the hole with caulk or wood putty traps the live bee inside — the bee chews a new exit hole through nearby wood, making the problem worse
Citrus sprays and almond oil push the bee to a new spot 6 inches over — they don't solve the problem, they just move it
Painting the deck helps prevent next year's bees but does nothing for this year's active tunneling

What Our Pros Do Instead

Inspect the entire exterior — deck, fascia, soffits, porch, pergola — to find every active hole (not just the one you saw)
Treat the gallery with professional-grade dust that kills the larvae inside
Wait the correct window before sealing — so live bees can exit and die, not chew new exit holes
Seal the holes properly and recommend painting or staining to prevent next year's generation

How it works

1

Full Exterior Inspection

We check the deck, fascia, soffits, porch, and pergola for every active hole — and signs of woodpecker damage.

2

Treat the Gallery

Professional-grade dust goes into each hole and kills the larvae inside. We wait the correct window before sealing so live bees exit and die.

3

Seal & Prevent Next Season

We seal the holes properly and recommend painting or staining to deter next spring's generation. Follow-up visits included if new holes appear.

Your carpenter bee experts

Carpenter bees come back to the same wood every year — that's how they work. One spring of treatment isn't a plan; it's a patch. Our techs use a multi-step approach: full exterior inspection, gallery treatment, proper sealing after the larvae die, and next-year prevention advice. We treat the cycle, not just the symptom.

We treat every active hole, not just the ones you showed us. Follow-up visits are included when needed. If carpenter bees return to a treated hole between scheduled visits, we come back at no charge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Same-day service is available in most areas. Carpenter bee season peaks April through June — the sooner we treat, the less damage.

They try. Carpenter bees return to the same wood every year, so we recommend painting or staining after treatment to deter next season's generation.

Yes. The dust we use stays inside the bee gallery — not on exposed surfaces. Kids and pets can be outside while we work.

Male carpenter bees hover aggressively but can't sting. Females can sting but rarely do — they're focused on tunneling. We take full safety precautions during treatment.

Your first service. Your tech inspects every exterior wood surface, treats the active holes, and gives you a clear plan. Ask about sealing timing and next-year prevention.
