First you need to know that carpenter bees are characterized
as “large” or “small”. It’s those large
buggers who cause the most property damage in Illinois. The large carpenter bees are two to three
times larger than the small ones. If you
are inclined to look closely enough the males have yellow sections on their
faces. The general coloring of this
species is not as vibrant as a bumble bee.
These summertime pests feed mostly on plants and
nectar. The problems arise when they
begin to attack and consume doors, window sills, decks, and fences. Their tastiest treats are pine, cypress, oak,
and redwood among others. Carpenter bees
have 4 stages of life taking about two months before they reach adulthood.
They may be fun to look at, but the damage that they can do
to your property could be profound. Take action by calling Kurt Spurgeon. He owns A Complete Pest Solution a
