If you notice holes in wood around your home, you'll probably have carpenter bees. These peaceful and non-aggressive insects will favor your decking or furniture, and if left untreated over a period of time, they can cause rot, water retention, and decay. If there are a lot of holes, this damage can be even more devastating.
Unlike other pollinators such as honeybees and bumblebees, carpenter bees don’t live in hives. For carpenter bees, their home of choice is, unfortunately, tunnels they create by burrowing into wood around your home and yard.
