Description: The Carpenter Bee is a large bee, usually black with some yellow and in some species the males are tan. Like the Honeybee, Carpenter Bees aid vegetation growth by pollinating plants as they gather pollen from flowers. Females will usually only sting if they are caught or feel attacked. Males do not have a stinger but often hover near the nest and can be aggressive. The Carpenter Bee gets its name from the female’s habit of boring holes in wood to lay her eggs.

Signs Of Activity: Sightings of the bee or holes in wood around the house.

Description: Scorpions are arachnids that possess eight legs. They are related to spiders, mites and ticks, as well as other members of the Arachnida class.

No scorpion venom in the U.S., with one exception, is viewed as a significant medical threat to the average person. In a human victim, a scorpion’s venom may cause symptoms like swelling at the site of the sting.
