Carpenter bees are stinging insects that can grow over an inch in length. They’re larger than other pests in this category. If the bee is completely black, it is female. If it has some orange spots, it is a male. Don’t mistake them for bumblebees because they do not have hair on their abdomens.
Reasons For Carpenter Bees
Carpenter bees invade properties that have unprotected softwoods. If you haven’t painted or stained the softwoods around your home, you’re going to get carpenter bees. They’ll bore small holes in the wood and use the holes for nesting purposes. Since a breeding pair is going to return to the same next for multiple years, the damage will quickly accumulate.
Health Risks Linked To Carpenter Bees
Carpenter bees can sting people, but they usually don’t. Male carpenter bees can’t sting since they don’t have a stinger. However, they will aggressively defend their nests. A female carpenter bee will have a stinger, but she won’t be as aggressive as a male. They can inject venom into their victims, and it could cause an allergic reaction. When this happens, the victim needs to get medical attention immediately. Another problem is that carpenter bee larvae are going to attract woodpeckers. Unfortunately, woodpeckers will cause immense damage to your home.
