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 certified entomologists 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 EPA-approved IPM approach eliminates current infestations while protecting vulnerable wood surfaces with long-lasting residual barriers. Backed by our 90-day carpenter bee-free guarantee and available 24/7 for emergency response, professional carpenter bee exterminator services deliver permanent protection that preserves your property’s structural value.

Carpenter Bee Prevention: Stop Infestations Before They Start
Proactive carpenter bee prevention reduces treatment costs 60-75% compared to reactive extermination.

- Apply exterior wood stain or paint to all exposed wooden surfaces
- Prioritize softwoods: cedar, pine, redwood, cypress
- Reapply protective coatings every 2-3 years
- Treat cut ends and undersides of deck boards
Physical Barriers
- Install aluminum or vinyl fascia covers over wooden trim
- Replace damaged wood with composite or PVC alternatives
- Seal existing holes with steel wool plus wood filler
- Screen soffit vents with 1/4-inch hardware cloth
Habitat Modification
- Remove dead trees and untreated lumber from property
- Store firewood 20+ feet from structures
- Eliminate standing deadwood attracting nesting activity
- Maintain 3-foot clearance between vegetation and wooden structures
Professional Monitoring
- Schedule spring inspections before peak carpenter bee activity (March–April)
- Deploy professional carpenter bee exterminator ecofriendly treatments
- Maintain perimeter dust treatments and gallery monitoring to intercept new colonization
