How to Get Rid of Carpenter Beetles – Fast

If you suspect carpenter beetles in your home or yard, don’t wait—they’re tough on wood and can return year after year if not properly handled.

Here’s what you can do:

• Identify the source—look for exit holes and sawdust near wooden structures.
• Remove and replace damaged wood where possible.
• Use insecticides or borate treatments designed for wood-boring pests.
• Seal cracks and holes to prevent beetles from getting in again.
• Call a pest control professional if the infestation is widespread.

Carpenter beetles may be persistent, but with quick action and the right approach, you can protect your home—and your peace of mind.
