Thorough inspection of the property to locate carpenter bee holes and nesting sites

Identification of active vs. inactive galleries

Assessment of wood damage and vulnerable areas for future nesting

Customized treatment based on infestation severity and location

Recommendations for wood repair, sealing, and painting to deter future nesting

Preventative strategy for long-term protection of wood structures

Injection of professional-grade residual dust or foam into carpenter bee holes

Surface treatment of affected wood areas using targeted sprays

Sealing of old galleries (once inactive) to prevent re-infestation

Application of preventative repellents to high-risk wood surfaces

Secondary treatment if activity persists or new holes appear (strongly recommended for moderate to heavy infestations)

Ongoing protection for high-risk areas (ideal for seasonal carpenter bee pressure)

Clear access to eaves, decks, fences, wood siding, soffits, and trim areas

Move outdoor furniture or items stored near affected wood

Keep pets and children away from treatment areas during and shortly after service

Avoid sealing holes immediately—wait 3–5 days for full activity to cease

After the waiting period, seal treated holes with wood filler or caulk

Consider painting or staining exposed wood to deter future nesting

Monitor for new activity, especially in spring and early summer
