How To Identify A Bee Infestation
Appearance - Bees and wasps can be mistaken for one another, as both can sting. Wasps, however, are more aggressive while bees commonly only sting when provoked. Knowing the difference between a bee and a wasp is important for treating a sting, as well as taking care of the wasp or bee problem. Bees are usually black-bodied or sometimes have brown or orange or yellow striations. Bees are also hairy, while wasps usually have smooth and shiny skin. Another way to tell the difference is: a bee will have little or no “waist”, while a wasp can have a narrower “pinched” waist.

Behavior - Bees are social and live in large colonies with a single queen….Bees will swarm when virgin female bees leave the nest to form a new colony elsewhere or when disturbed and in defense of the colony.
Why You Might Have Bees
Like humans, bees want a safe and secure place to call home in close proximity to a good food source. Sometimes this can mean in the siding of your house or in or around a tree on your property.
Reasons To Treat Your Bee Problem Immediately
Bees can sting and will swarm when disturbed. Even one sting can be enough to send a person with an allergy into anaphylactic shock. While bees are beneficial to the environment in many ways, they can be inconvenient or even dangerous if they locate their hive close to your home or living area.

How To Identify A Carpenter Bee Infestation
Appearance - Carpenter bees are large bees just under an inch in length. They are often confused with bumble bees due to their size and hairy upper bodies. The carpenter bee has a black, shiny lower body, unlike a bumble bee which has a hairy bottom.
Behavior - Carpenter bees hollow out wood to form their new homes, often in eaves, window sills, or wood siding of your home. But, it's not uncommon for carpenter bees to use pre-existing tunnels rather than create new ones. Often damage occurs above the first level of your residence in the form of perfectly shaped holes in the siding. Carpenter bees do not eat wood and will leave wood bits and dust behind as a sign of their current residence in your walls where they seek shelter and have their young. Male carpenter bees will not sting but are known to aggressively “dive bomb” perceived threats to the nest.
Why You Might Have Carpenter Bees
Carpenter bees seek out dry wood to live in. The wood of house siding, door trim, and window sills are good homes, as well as many other worn or unpainted wooden surfaces. Coachella Valley carpenter bees set their sights high, so if you live near or own a home that has multiple stories, carpenter bees will most likely burrow on the second floor - for their own safety.
Reasons To Treat Your Carpenter Bee Problem Immediately
Carpenter bee activity tends to be a nuisance and a threat to your Coachella Valley residence. Too many carpenter bees burrowing at once can cause costly structural and aesthetic damage to the side of your home. Woodpeckers will often peck into house siding seeking carpenter bee larvae for food. While they do not sting, male carpenter bees are territorial. Female carpenter bees can sting if provoked and can be a danger to your family and pets.
