Carpenter Bees

Monday, May 26th, 2008

Carpenter Bees are drilling holes and nesting all over my house and all around my garden. They seem to especially like the facia board around the eaves of my home.
I’ll keep you posted on how it works.

In the garden, I have a rustic looking fence made of landscape timbers. The Carpenter Bees have drilled holes in those too.

I’ve found that Wasp and Hornet killer spray is effective. However, I have so many that there’s no chance of controlling them with those little spray cans, not to mention it would cost a fortune. So, here’s what I’m going to try.

Permethrin 10% 32oz
