The Image you show is not a carpenter bee and the hole is not right for carpenter bee damage. The Carpenter bee holes are about 3/8 to 1/2 inch perfect circles and you will see the bee flying around the area. Its not subterranean termites, Its possible that it could be Drywood or Dampwood termites that possibility would be determined by where you where you live. How large are the holes, and what type of wood is it. If the wood has been treated or stained it most likely will not bee carpenter bees, since they don't like painted or stained wood. How big are the holes and how many are there. The black thing in the picture I assume is an photo of s bug . Did you see it come out f the holes. How large is the bug . Does it fly. The material that is in the hole in the picture does it appear to be wood shavings.
Wood Bees! You can get traps for them.
Spray with WD-40, it will coat their wings preventing them from flying and making new holes.
