Carpenter Bees & Wasps Around Decks – Safe Nest Removal and Prevention in Lebanon, MO

Understanding Deck Activity in Lebanon

When warm weather arrives in Lebanon, carpenter bees and wasps search for sheltered nesting spots—your deck, rails, and eaves are prime targets. Carpenter bees tunnel into untreated wood, leaving perfectly round holes, while wasps build papery nests under overhangs and railings and may become defensive when disturbed.

How to Identify Carpenter Bee & Wasp Problems

• Round holes in deck boards, posts, or fascia (carpenter bees).
• Buzzing activity near wood railings and roof edges.
• Visible paper or mud nests under eaves or patio furniture.
• Sawdust piles beneath holes or under railing joints.
• Aggressive wasp behavior near seating, grills, or trash.

Avoid knocking down nests or plugging holes on your own—this can provoke stings and won’t stop re-nesting.
