Can't Find Carpenter Bee Nest

Call a pest control expert with experience of removing bees to come and assess the situation.

Can't find carpenter bee nest. Carpenter bees live in individual nests in softwood which is why you can find these bees in porches old trees or any other structure with soft wood. The only exception is if the infestation is severe. If the nest is recent you may also see a little pile of sawdust directly under the hole.

This means they wont demolish a home like a hungry army of termites can. Although no bees have settled into the bee house still I have seen a greater abundance of carpenter bees this Spring than normal. In the Americas Asia Australia Europe and elsewhere.

The cool thing is that there are many different colored carpenter bees around the world as well. Carpenter bees have evolved the ability to cut through solid wood with their mandibles in order to make a nest and where they will raise their brood in little cells separated by wood shaving. Is the trap visible.

To be certain look at the entrance holes. If you cant see the trap neither can the carpenter bees. If you think you might have carpenter bees or if youve seen them and know theyre around its wise to do an inspection around the outside of your house to see if you can find their nests.

The result is a perfect little round hole which you may notice if you look up at the wood trim on the outside of your house. Carpenter bees make their homes in wood and sometimes their nests are hard to spot. Specifically soft weathered and unpainted wood are perfect environments.

Carpenter bees will dig out wood to create a nest but they arent like termites or carpenter ants. Carpenter bees are much more exact. At any given time there is at least one or two females buzzing around the yard and sometimes more.
