Pests We Treat Photo Album: Carpenter Bees Keep Coming Back in Brielle, NJ
Kept Coming Back
Every year, the carpenter bees kept coming back to his house no matter what the homeowner did and he wasn't sure why.
Their Pheromone
Carpenter bees leave a pheromone in the areas where they nest. When other carpenter bees are passing by, the pheromone attracts them to the house, and they stop to check it out because they think it's a safe place to live. As long as that pheromone is there the carpenter bees will continue to come your home year after year.
First Dust and Then...
After treating the area with a dusting product to eliminate the carpenter bees, we installed Ridge Vent along the entire fascia board.
A Longe Term Solution
This product keeps the carpenter bees from getting up underneath the facia board and deters the carpenter bees away from the home. This tends to be a viable long-term solution that will stop carpenter bees from causing any more destruction.
