Professional Carpenter Bee Pest Management Kansas City MO
The carpenter bee is a large stinging bee that does not particularly colonize. These solitary flying insects spend most of their time feeding on various plant species and helping farmers pollinate their crops – cucumbers, strawberries, and watermelon. As a pollinator, the carpenter bee picks up pollen from a male plant species and delivers it to a female plant of the same species. Pollinators play a major role in the industrial and commercial farming industry in the United States, Europe, Mexico, and Canada.
What Is My Kansas City Property Under A Carpenter Bee Attack?
Carpenter bees are drawn to decaying wood structures, especially tree stumps and downed trees. While these insects overwinter throughout the winter season, they are fully ready to start breeding when the weather warms the following spring. At this time, the male hooks up with a female carpenter bee to breed. Following a mating session, the male carpenter bee will die, leaving the female to care for the young.
The female carpenter bee erects holes in decaying wood structures by a process known as boring. Once the holes are bored into the structure, the female carpenter bee will deposit her eggs inside away from the larvae-thirty woodpeckers. The woodpecker is drawn to carpenter bee larvae nest by sound. Once the nest is located, the woodpecker will set out on a mission to reach the larvae. If it means pecking for hours or days, it means pecking for days or hours to successfully reach the carpenter bee larvae.
Do Carpenter Bees Pose A Danger To Children And Pets?
Yes, but, only when they are threatened by them. For example, a child unknowingly enters the area where the carpenter bee nest is located could get stung. Fortunately, the female carpenter bee’s timid demeanor minimizes the child’s risk of getting stung. Only the female carpenter bee has stinging capabilities. The male does not have a stinger.
As far as structural damage goes, the woodpecker is responsible for about 95 percent of it. The carpenter bee’s boring will endanger decaying wood structures, but the woodpecker will continue pecking until it reaches the tiny larvae hidden deep inside the bored holes.
How Can I Get Rid Of Carpenter Bees From My Kansas City Property?
With the help of our licensed exterminators and certified pest control technicians. These professionals are skilled in carpenter bee pest management. So, they know how to safely exterminate the female carpenter bee and her young.
Do Kansas City Exterminators Recommend DIY Pest Control For Carpenter Bees?
No, carpenter bees are extremely dangerous. While the female rarely stings and the male does not possess stinging capabilities, anyone who enters their space is in danger. Even if you mean the carpenter bees no harm, they view you as a human predator. Do not try to exterminate carpenter bees or their larvae without the property safety equipment and an industrial-strength pesticide.
Does Carpenter Bee Pest Control Contain Harmful Ingredients?
The chemicals utilized in some pest control formulas do post some health risks to humans and animals. However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed guidelines that all exterminators operating in the United States must heed when utilizing chemical pesticides. Our exterminators are fully aware of these guidelines. Plus, they never administer chemical-based insecticides in human-occupied homes.
What Can I Do To Protect My Kansas City Property From A Future Carpenter Bee Infiltration?
The only way to prevent a future carpenter bee problem is to remove the nest. Whether you are aware or not, carpenter bees tend to return to the same nest each breeding season. For this matter, it is crucial to get rid of the nest after the carpenter bees are exterminators.
