Residents of Las Vegas are going to encounter carpenter bees during the warm, summer months. Although these pests are less aggressive than other stinging insects, they can still create numerous issues for homeowners and business owners. They are large since they can grow over an inch and a half. The color depends on the gender with females being fully black. Males are orange and black. Although they look like bumblebees, they have shiny, black abdomens. Bumblebees have hairy abdomens.
What Causes Carpenter Bee Invasions?
Carpenter bees like invading properties that have untreated softwoods. If you have softwoods on your property, the wood will likely attract carpenter bees. These pests build nests in unstained, unpainted softwoods. They can also use them for overwintering purposes. Breeding carpenter bees tend to return to the same nesting spots for multiple years. Therefore, it is wise to understand that the damage is going to accumulate rapidly.
Primary Dangerous Linked To Carpenter Bees
Since you’re dealing with stinging insects, you have to remember that these pests will sting. Nevertheless, the danger isn’t as bad as you might initially believe. The thing you have to remember is that male carpenter bees do not have stingers so they cannot sting. Nevertheless, they are aggressive so they will do whatever they must to defend the nest. As for females, they have stingers but they usually do not sting people. As long as you stay away from these pests, you should be okay. Another concern is that carpenter bee larvae attract woodpeckers. Unfortunately, this can lead to more property damage.
