Carpenter bees are a common nuisance in New Jersey and can cause significant damage to wooden structures around your home. Unlike other bees, carpenter bees bore into wood to create tunnels for nesting, often targeting decks, railings, siding, eaves, and outdoor furniture.
Over time, repeated drilling can weaken wood, create visible damage, and attract additional bees to the same areas year after year. Their activity can also draw woodpeckers, which further damage structures while searching for larvae.
