Carpenter Bee Extermination with Pest Control Atlanta
Are perfect round holes appearing in your deck, eaves, or wooden structures? These ½-inch diameter tunnels signal Eastern Carpenter Bees (Xylocopa virginica) boring through softwoods, creating galleries up to 4-6 inches deep for nesting galleries. Female carpenter bees excavate 6–10 new tunnels annually, with each gallery housing 6–12 eggs that develop into wood-destroying adults within 7 weeks. Unlike surface treatments that carpenter bees easily avoid, Pest Control Atlanta’s trained technicians deploy targeted carpenter bee pest control using residual dust insecticides (Tempo Dust, Delta Dust) injected directly into active galleries, combined with carpenter bee nest removal and preventive wood treatments. Our IPM approach eliminates current infestations while protecting vulnerable wood surfaces with long-lasting residual barriers. Backed by our satisfaction guarantee, professional carpenter bee exterminator services deliver protection that helps preserve your property’s structural value.

Carpenter Bee Identification
Eastern Carpenter Bee (Xylocopa virginica) measures ¾-1 inch long with shiny black abdomens and yellow thorax hairs, commonly infesting unpainted softwoods including pine, cedar, redwood, and cypress across Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, and Gwinnett counties. Pest Control Atlanta (PCA) technicians identify active galleries through fresh sawdust piles and entrance hole diameter analysis, applying species-specific residual dust insecticides. Treatment targets both active adult bees and developing larvae inside gallery tunnels. Science-backed carpenter bee elimination protocols one click away from bee-free property.
