Bee & Carpenter Bee Control in Albany, NY
Bees are generally not aggressive, but a hive established inside your home’s walls or attic is a serious problem. As a colony grows — sometimes to tens of thousands of bees — the honeycomb and wax build up inside the wall cavity. If the colony dies or is treated improperly, the honeycomb melts, attracts other pests, and causes moisture damage and odors that can persist for years.
Carpenter bees are a different but equally important pest problem. These solitary bees bore into untreated or unpainted wood — fascia boards, deck railings, wooden siding, and porch ceilings — drilling half-inch holes to create nesting galleries. Year after year, new generations return to the same wood, causing structural damage that can become expensive to repair if left untreated.
Professional bee control ensures colonies are removed completely and entry points are sealed. Mike & Son’s Pest Control handles bee and carpenter bee problems throughout Albany, NY. Call (518) 218-1080 for a free estimate.

About Bees & Carpenter Bees
Honey bees and bumble bees are beneficial pollinators, but when they establish colonies inside walls, chimneys, or soffits, they require professional removal. Carpenter bees are a separate problem — solitary bees that drill perfectly round holes into wood trim, decks, and siding, causing significant structural damage over time.
