by Jason AllentoffAs the summer season rapidly approaches, many pest control companies throughout the Garden State are seeing a rise in complaints regarding a flying nuisance that can cause damage to your home....and it ain't a gypsy moth or termite.
When you think of bees you think of honey...right? Some think of a painful sting. However, have you ever thought a bee could cause harm to property? Carpenter Bees can and while they don't sting, they feed on the wood on your house. People often mistake them for bumblebees. They often burrow into the exposed dry wood of buildings, fence posts and telephone poles.
Michael Russell with Action Termite and Pest Control in Toms River says people can take care of the problem themselves. Russell says they don't cause as much damage as termites. He explains one remedy would be to seal off the hole made by the bee with caulk. The other option would be to call an exterminator. They recommend a chemical treatment insecticide when nesting activity is apparent.
