Carpenter Bee
Large, robust bees resembling bumblebees but with a shiny, hairless black abdomen. Females bore perfectly round 1/2-inch holes into untreated wood — eaves, decks, fences — to build nesting galleries.

How to identify carpenter bee
Large, robust bees resembling bumblebees but with a shiny, hairless black abdomen. Females bore perfectly round 1/2-inch holes into untreated wood — eaves, decks, fences — to build nesting galleries.
What a pest pro would do
- Inspect the eaves, soffits, roofline, ground, and voids for active nests.
- Treat and remove nests safely, timed for when the colony is least active — high or hidden nests are handled with the right equipment.
- Apply a residual barrier to the Peak Line where new queens rebuild; honey bees are referred for live relocation, not killed.
- Return through the season to catch new nests early.
