Why Prevention Is Critical For This Pest
Waiting until you see signs of an infestation means the problem has already taken hold. Preventative pest management targets the conditions that attract pests in the first place — sealing entry points, eliminating food and water sources, and creating ongoing protective barriers around your property.
Our year-round State Shield protection programs are designed to prevent the carpenter bee and other common pests from establishing themselves in your home or business. Regular scheduled treatments and proactive monitoring mean you're always protected — not just reacting after the damage is done.
