What Are Carpenter Bees Looking For?

Carpenter bees are probably the most unwanted visitors, and they have been visiting you quite often lately.  Why are they such a problem only for your home and not those in the neighborhood? 

We can tell you it's no accident that they bore holes in your porch rather than hundreds of trees nearby. The reason is that they find your home more favorable than others. These unwanted guests are fond of untreated wood, flowering plants, overhanging roofs, and even existing nest tunnels around your place.
