Common questions
How do pros treat carpenter bees?
They treat active tunnels with a targeted dust, seal the holes, and recommend painting/sealing the wood to prevent re-boring.
Is carpenter bee damage serious?
Repeated boring can weaken fascia, decks, and trim over years. Early treatment and sealing prevents structural-grade repair.
