About this service
Carpenter bees drill perfectly round holes into wooden structures, decks, and siding to lay their eggs. You need this service if you see sawdust piles beneath wooden beams or notice bees hovering near the eaves of your house. Because they can cause structural damage over time, treatment involves clearing out the tunnels and sealing the wood to prevent re-entry. It is important to act quickly before the wood damage becomes extensive and requires costly repairs to your home's exterior.
Summer heat drives pests to seek moisture and shade, often right inside your living space. From ants to stinging insects, the high activity levels can make your outdoor areas unusable and your indoors uncomfortable. Regular treatments are the most effective way to maintain control during these peak months. Call us to keep your home pest-free all summer long.
