Southlake, TX Carpenter Bee Exterminator Near You
(Carpenter Bee Removal)

Fox Pest Control provides experienced carpenter bee exterminators in Southlake, TX and the surrounding area. Carpenter Bees look like less-fuzzy bumblebees — we also provide Southlake bee removal, wasp removal, yellow jacket removal, and hornet removal services. Despite their innocent appearance, these pests can cause major damage to your Southlake home. Female Carpenter Bees will burrow into wood, creating a tunnel to lay eggs. Carpenter Bees are not aggressive toward humans unless bothered or handled. They are typically alone, but will use the same tunnels each year, causing major damage to woodwork in homes. This can lead to moisture and decay, creating nearly termite-level damage. If you have carpenter bees in your home, it is recommended that you hire a carpenter bee removal expert instead of trying to solve the problem yourself. Fox Pest Control’s Southlake pest control services are here to help. Our team of highly-trained technicians will help you rid your home of carpenter bees quickly. Call (817) 839-2693 or email us.

Signs of a Carpenter Bee Infestation in Southlake, TX

You might already know for sure that you have a carpenter bee problem (after all, you’re probably here because you’re looking for carpenter bee removal near you). But here are a couple of the most common signs that carpenter bee exterminators in Southlake look for:

Wood Damage

The most common sign of carpenter bees is perfect circular holes drilled in wood. Carpenter bee holes can be found in uncured wood siding, roofing, wooden decks or deck furniture, fencing, telephone poles, wooden mailbox posts, etc.

  • People often mistake carpenter bees for bumble bees. Here are some ways to pick a carpenter bee out from a crowd:

FAQs About Carpenter Bee Removal in Southlake, TX

How do I get rid of carpenter bees in Southlake?

Carpenter bees are extremely hardy. Getting rid of them in Southlake requires very powerful measures. Non-professional methods often aren’t effective, and the bees simply move to a different location nearby. Fox Pest Control's affordable carpenter bee removal experts have the best tools that will get rid of the bees for good.

Why do carpenter bees burrow into wood?

They tunnel into the wood to make their nests. Much like ants, carpenter bees make galleries where they store their eggs. Carpenter bees don’t eat wood; their burrowing through wood is what causes damage to your home.

Do carpenter bees sting?

Only female carpenter bees can sting, and they don’t like to do it very often. Carpenter bees rarely sting unless the nest is threatened. Males can sometimes try to intimidate intruders by flying close to the face, but they don’t have a stinger and are completely harmless. 

Are carpenter bees aggressive?

Unlike some wasps and bees in Southlake, carpenter bees don’t go after people very often. Unless their nest is disturbed, they don’t usually sting. 

Do carpenter bees live in colonies?

Unlike honey bees or yellow jackets that make huge colonies, carpenter bees are solitary.

Do female carpenter bees leave their nest?

After the female makes tunnels into the wood for her eggs, she leaves the tunnel to collect flower pollen, which she tucks into the egg galleries. Using the chewed pulp from the wood, the female seals off the gallery. As the egg develops, it eats the pollen and eventually finds its way out.

How do carpenter bees survive the winter?

As the weather gets colder in Southlake, the carpenter bees look for a nice warm gallery dug out of wood. They stay there until the weather warms up again. Some bees may die during the winter, but many survive and return in the spring.

We have been using Fox for about 6 months now and I have to say every member of this team that I've personally dealt with has been amazing. They are super patient, knowledgeable, and even when I ask them to come back out for extra prevention it's no questions asked and guilt free.

First service call we've had with FOX. From Chase who got us to sign up and Paul who came out and performed the service, I have nothing bad to say. Both were highly professional, kind, courteous and never made us feel like we were a burden. Awesome customer service from start to finish. Glad to be part of the FOX family!
