Carpenter Bee Control in Joliet, IL
Carpenter bee control in Joliet, IL stops the bees that drill perfectly round holes into decks, railings, fascia and eaves. Treatment goes into the galleries first, then the holes are sealed — because filling them before treating just traps bees that tunnel out elsewhere.

Call (209) 563-1650Frequently asked questions
Are carpenter bees damaging my deck?
The round holes are entrances to tunnels bored into the wood, and years of reuse and woodpecker damage can weaken railings and fascia. Treating and sealing the galleries stops the damage from expanding.
Do carpenter bees sting?
Males hover and are territorial but cannot sting; females can sting but rarely do unless handled. The main concern is the structural damage to wood, not aggression.
When should I seal the holes?
Seal the holes after treating the galleries, not before — plugging an untreated hole can trap bees that then tunnel out a new exit. Finishing the wood afterward deters future drilling.
