Carpenter Bee Pest Services
Protect Your Home from Wood-Destroying Bees
That persistent buzzing you hear around your deck, eaves, and fascia in the spring isn’t just a nuisance. It’s the sound of carpenter bees excavating tunnels into the wood of your home. Homeowners in Sterling, Princeton, Holden, and across Central MA know that while these large bees are less aggressive than wasps, they can cause significant cosmetic and structural damage. Year after year, they return to expand their galleries, compromising your home’s integrity.
Standard, reactive sprays often fail to solve the underlying problem, leaving your home vulnerable to recurring infestations. PESTalytix provides a comprehensive, analytical approach to carpenter bee removal and control in Worcester County, designed not just to eliminate the current activity but to protect your property for the long term.

Our Carpenter Bee Management Service for Central MA
Our service is a complete, end-to-end solution designed to eliminate the current infestation and deter future activity. It is typically performed in early spring when bees are most active throughout Worcester County.
| Phase | Step | Key Actions & Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Analysis & Treatment | Gallery Identification & Treatment | We meticulously inspect all wood surfaces (decks, fascia, eaves) to locate every active carpenter bee gallery. Each gallery is then treated with a specialized insecticidal dust that is carried deep into the tunnels, effectively eliminating the nesting bees and their larvae. |
| 2. Prevention & Sealing | Plugging & Sealing Galleries | After the treatment has taken effect (typically 7-10 days), we return to plug and seal every gallery entrance. This critical step in carpenter bee removal prevents other bees from reusing the old tunnels and signals to scouting bees that the location is unsuitable for nesting. |
| 3. Deterrent Application | Preventative Surface Treatment | We apply a targeted, low-toxicity liquid residual product to the surrounding wood surfaces. This preventative application makes the wood unattractive to carpenter bees looking to excavate new galleries, providing a final layer of protection for your property. |
