Bees In Wood Siding

To make sure carpenter bees don t invade the outside of your home again either install vinyl siding or have your home painted regularly.

Bees in wood siding.

Here is an example of carpenter bees finding untreated wood. Where the siding meets the concrete foundation of the house bees are going up there and i assume they re building a hive of some sort. Most people tend to find carpenter bees hovering around their deck shed porch or wood siding. Now you might think that a hive hidden away inside of the siding on your home whether it s wood vinyl or aluminum is hard to get rid of but actually they re pretty safe and easy.

And unlike honey or bumble bees carpenter bees nest in wood rather than in the ground matts says so they leave behind round drill like holes. Vinyl siding or any other non wood siding really is the only way you re going to ensure that carpenter bees don t damage your home. Even though a hive nestled inside the wood aluminum or vinyl siding is hard to actually reach these are in fact some of the easiest and safest types of nests to get rid of because they require no contact. They aren t aggressive but this is happening right by the most used door of the house so it s probably just a matter of time before i piss them off.

They don t actually eat wood though. Install siding or maintain paint. My house has vinyl siding.
