\"Yikes
Yikes Look at the Holes!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Termites aren\u2019t the only wood-destroying bugs that cause homeowners to call Middlesex County NJ pest control companies<\/a>. Carpenter bees can also cause a considerable amount of damage to home exteriors made of wood, especially if they don\u2019t have protective coats of polyurethane or oil-based paint.<\/p>\n

Carpenter Bee Damage<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carpenter bees<\/a> cause damage to homes by boring holes into wood in order to nest. These bees often use the same holes each year, but they sometimes make them bigger. If you have holes that are roughly a half-inch large, they are most likely caused by carpenter bees.<\/p>\n

Wood Repair<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your home exterior has holes caused by carpenter bees<\/a>, it\u2019s important to close them up. This helps improve your home\u2019s appearance and prevents carpenter bees from continuing to use these holes. You\u2019ll have to use a bee and wasp spray in the holes first before closing them, which will will prevent these pests from boring their way back through.<\/p>\n

Use the spray around dusk, then place wooden dowels in the holes about 24 hours later. Cover the dowels with wood putty to seal them up. Keep in mind that you might need professional pest control if these bees continue to return.<\/p>\n
