Stop Carpenter Bees
and Preserve Your Home

Carpenter bees may look harmless, but they can drill into decks, trim, and siding — leaving behind sawdust, holes, and structural damage. At Eco Man Pest Solutions, we eliminate carpenter bees safely and effectively using eco-conscious treatments that won’t harm pollinators or your home.

How We Get Rid of Carpenter Bees

Step 1: Locate Active Galleries

We inspect your home’s wood surfaces — including eaves, railings, and siding — to find burrows, staining, and entry holes.

Step 2: Apply Eco-Safe Treatments

We treat affected areas using botanical-based products that drive bees out of their tunnels and discourage future nesting — without harming nearby pollinators like honeybees.

Step 3: Prevent Re-Infestation

We recommend sealing exposed wood, repainting vulnerable areas, and ongoing treatments during the spring and summer when carpenter bees are most active.

We moved to the Chapel Hill area in November, bought a house in a rural area that hadn't been lived in for quite some time and we needed some quick help. Kevin was able to get us rolling right away and we saw an immediate difference! Besides owning/running such a great company, Kevin is such a great person and an absolute pleasure to deal with! We couldn't be happier with Eco Man!!

Frequently Asked Questions About Carpenter Bees

Yes. While they don’t eat wood like termites, carpenter bees drill into decks, trim, fascia, and other exposed wood to build nests. Over time, repeated nesting can weaken structures and cause visible damage.

No. We use targeted, essential-oil-based treatments that are designed to flush out carpenter bees specifically. We also use bee boxes to catch and release them. Our goal is to remove the pests without harming beneficial pollinators like honeybees.

We don’t recommend it until we’ve confirmed the bees are gone. Sealing active nests can trap bees inside and cause them to burrow elsewhere — or return stronger next season.

Male carpenter bees can be aggressive but don’t have stingers. Female carpenter bees can sting but rarely do. The real risk is the damage they cause to your home — not your family.

We apply eco-safe treatments directly into the nest openings to flush out active bees and deter re-entry. We then recommend sealing holes and applying natural repellents to prevent future nesting and controlling new infestations with Bee Boxes. 

Keeping wood surfaces painted or sealed is key. We also recommend routine inspections in spring and early summer, when bees are most active, and applying natural deterrents as needed.
