Default Wood bees/Carpenter Bees Problem

Hi I have a Problem with Wood bees/Carpenter Bees, which is my
reason for Posting!


Most college departments of entomology can find
someone to identify exactly the species of your
problem bees. This info may be helpful if you
plan to remove them yourself.


Optionally you can take a tennis raquet and bat the hovering ones out
of the air. Then use regular wasp/bee spray on the areas of wood they
they are interested in. Keeping old wood maintained and painted will
discourage them in the long run.

Some college departments have wild bee specialists
who might be interested in removing the nest
for their own research.


Hopefully they don't remove your facia boards or fences for this
purpose.
