If you’re noticing neat, perfectly round holes on the exterior of your home, you might have carpenter bees. 🐝

And they’re not tunneling “just to be destructive”—they’re tunneling to create nests inside the wood (which is exactly why the damage can add up fast).

In this video, Lisa explains:
✅ What carpenter bee holes actually mean
✅ How nesting tunnels form behind the surface
✅ Why plugging the holes is a bad idea (it can make the situation worse, not better)

If you’re seeing activity around porches, decks, trim, fascia, or eaves, BREDA can help you handle it the right way—so your home doesn’t become a seasonal bee nursery. 😅

"Can I handle carpenter bees on my own, or is it time to call a professional?" That answer depends on what stage the problem is in.

DIY steps like painting, sealing, and maintaining exposed wood can help prevent carpenter bees, especially before they begin nesting. But once carpenter bees are drilling holes, returning year after year, or creating hidden tunnels inside wood, DIY methods may not fully address the problem.

In our latest blog, BREDA Pest Management explains when DIY carpenter bee control may be enough, when professional treatment is the smarter call, and what actually works for Georgia homeowners.
