Absolutely. When it comes to stinging insects, safety is always our top priority — for your family, pets, and our team.

Our licensed pest professionals will:

• Quickly identify the species (wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, cicada killers, ground bees)
   
• Assess the nest’s location and threat level
   
• Apply targeted treatments that are effective and family-safe

Proactive Protection Members receive routine inspections and preventative treatments, so we often find and treat nests before they become a serious risk.

If you see stinging insects near your home or business, don’t try to handle it yourself — call us, and we’ll take care of it.

If pests come back between your scheduled services, just call us and we’ll return and retreat at no extra cost for any covered pest.

Like other bees, carpenter bees are attracted to flowers. If you have lots of flowers in your yard, you’ll likely find these bees mingling with bumblebees, butterflies, and other pollinators. They’re also attracted to untreated wood, which can make fences, decks, and sheds, as well as wood siding. Carpenter bees also search for old nests that they can use and expand.

Contrary to popular belief, carpenter bees don’t eat wood—they use their mandibles to carve out tunnels, then push the sawdust out. Instead, Carpenter bees eat nectar like other bees. Carpenter bees feed their larvae “bee bread,” which is a mixture of pollen and nectar or honey.

Yes, Carpenter bees can sting you, but only some of them. Female carpenter bees are the ones who have stingers, and they’re capable of stinging more than once. However, they’re unlikely to do so unless you provoke them by attempting to handle them or poking your fingers into their burrows. Male carpenter bees are the ones you’ll see guarding the nest and while they might act aggressively by flying at you, they can’t sting you.

Carpenter bees have shiny, black, hairless abdomens while bumblebees are fuzzy all over with yellow stripes. Carpenter bees are solitary and drill into wood; bumblebees are social and nest in the ground. Carpenter bees hover aggressively but males can't sting; bumblebees are generally docile but all can sting.

Carpenter bee traps are only 70% effective even when properly placed and maintained. Always consult with a professional pest control company to avoid danger to you or your loved ones and to address infestations quickly and effectively.
