How to Eradicate Carpenter Bee with a Minimum Amount of Fuss


Carpenter bees are benign creatures which do not pose any dangerous implications for human beings. But for wooden creatures, it triggers a sense of panic as it drills into the wooden structures. They form their nests in these structures and go on to lay eggs. At the same time, they are pollinators which help the gardens or plants to grow. Carpenter bee control can be undertaken by a series of mechanisms, some can be without even spraying chemicals. All this is done without significant damage to your property.
Let us now figure out the series of steps for carpenter bee control
Without Insecticides, You can Get Rid of Carpenter Bees         

Just play sound speakers that would encourage the bees, to leave
The carpenter bees are sensitive to noise accompanied by vibrations. Set up the loudspeaker in the area where they reside and play music for 2 to 3 days. They will be forced to vacate the place.
• This is one of the less bothersome and safest means of getting rid of carpenter bees
• A strong possibility exists where the bees may return to their area of infestation even if you dispel them with the loud noise. To achieve optimum results work on preventive measures on the wooden structure once the carpenter bees have left the place.
• If there are neighbours around, inform them that you will be playing loud music in order to get rid of the bees. The loud noise should not bother them in any way.
The Essence or almond oil could be used as a Measure to Repel Bees
Pretty much like citrus spray almond or almond essence is a true and trusted option in repelling off the carpenter bees. You would need to place the oil around the infestation areas of the bees or the holes where you find them.
A physical trap where the bees will be lured and you can trap them
This works out to be a non invasive method of carpenter bee removal. Just place a trap in the area of bee infestation and they will walk straight into it. In the meantime their escape route is nil and it will prevent them from swarming your premises
• The trap should be hung over the holes of carpenter bees. If there are no infestations as well, then also you can hang traps so as to prevent them from appearing
• The bee traps can be found online and in various department stores as well
A Tennis Racket to Kill the Bees When They are in an Active Mode
During the spring season, the carpenter bees are on the lookout for borrows to lay their eggs. The pollen is deposited as food for the larvae as well. It would mean that they are active for a couple of weeks. Rely on the use of a badminton racket to smack and kill the bees
• To ensure that the bees are dead after you smack them, you can step on them with your shoes
• The male carpenter bees are the ones who are not known to sting. You will find them buzzing around the nest as well. It means that the chances of being stung are a bare minimum
• Take into consideration that this is not a preferred method for bee manifestation. The reason being that they are pollinators needed for effective cultivation of the crops
If the above methods do not churn in the desired results you can always resort to the use of pesticides. The powders and Insecticidal dust are rated to be effective for removing active carpenter bees. This proves efficient when the bees have dug deep into the wooden structure. With the help of a hand dust, you can apply the insecticidal spray directly on to the holes of the bees. In hindsight, it prevents their future growth as well
• The dust is to be applied at night which reduces the chances of being stung
• The insecticidal dust needs to be applied one single time every season
These are some of the methods by which you can advocate carpenter bee control. If you want a long term solution you must take help of professional pest control company to do the job.
