Pest of the Month \u2013 Carpenter Bees<\/h3>\n

Carpenter Bees are very beneficial pollinators to be welcomed in any outdoor landscape, but when they start to invade your house surroundings, they can become a structural problem. Carpenter Bees can be all black, or black and yellow and look just like a bumble bee but the difference is they do not have a fuzzy abdomen like a bumble bee. You may notice \u00bd\u201d diameter holes appearing in wood doors, soffits, fences or any other wood structure. These holes become tunnels, which can run for several inches, made by the female Carpenter Bee, to lay her eggs. If left unattended, over time, serious damage can be done to the wood structure. These bees also tend to migrate back to the same area from which they emerged, so it is important to implement some control measures. If you notice Carpenter Bee activity, give EcoTech Pest Control (631-868-0723) a call today.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”10468″ style=”vc_box_border”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1427138432614{background-color: #e5f7fd !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
