Carpenter Bee Control in Kerrville, TX

Short version: if there's a carpenter bee nest on your property in Kerrville, we can get out there and take care of it — usually same-day, sometimes next morning if the call comes in late. Longer version is on this page. We'll walk through how to tell it's actually carpenter bee you're looking at (about a third of our carpenter bee calls turn out to be a look-alike), what's making it show up on your property right now, and what we'll do when we get there.

Why carpenter bee matters in Kerrville #

Why carpenter bee shows up the way it does in Kerrville specifically — as opposed to, say, Dallas or the coast — comes down to the ground, the trees, and what people have built on top of both.

Carpenter bees are a real problem for Hill Country homes. The custom architecture that defines places like Boerne, Fair Oaks Ranch, Bulverde, Leon Springs, and the upscale Stone Oak area has exposed cedar beams, stained fascia, timber-frame porches, pergolas, cypress soffits, and board-and-batten siding. Unfortunately, this is exactly what Xylocopa virginica and X. micans love to call home.

About the carpenter bee #

The name Xylocopa comes from Ancient Greek and means "wood-cutter." That’s a fitting description for what these bees do.

How we treat carpenter bee in Kerrville #

What we actually do on a carpenter bee job in Kerrville depends on three things: where the nest is, how old the building is, and what the family situation looks like. Ground nest on a lot with young kids and a dog gets treated very differently than an aerial nest in an empty guest house. We'll talk that through on site.
