The badmitton racket works good and is fun. For the ultimate challenge (or the shy ones that refuse to come within reach) I will break out the pellet rifle. Don't have to pump it up very much. Make sure you are shooting in a safe direction and have fun.

I wish the company that makes those Bug-a-Salt guns that shoot salt (for killing flies and such) would make an upgraded one that shot kosher salt and hard enough to kill a carpenter bee, wasp, horse fly, etc.
If you shoot a carpenter bee with Kosher salt do they still get to go to heaven? I hope they all go to HELL!!!

Sometimes I post (What I think is) really funny stuff and I wonder if anyone even notices. Of course a lot of stuff seems funny when you've had a couple of beers.

Heck. I went to bed last night at about 2130. "Early to bed. Early to rise." Does something for a man. I don't know what it is though.

I got into them with my daughters red ryder last summer after having a few cold pops. I think I bagged 6 in a matter of an hour or so. It was a blast.

Round 1 - Carburetor Cleaner will kill them faster than wasp spray. Take the little red extension tube and run it up in the hole and give it a good soaking. That will keep them out of the hole for the rest of the season and kill whatever is in there. It is kinda like yellow jackets do it at night when they are in the hole. You'll knock a serious dent in the population.
Round 2 - The preventative maintenance is a couple of traps. I do not know how to permanently get rid of them apparently whatever they treat wood with these days doesn't bother them they'll bore a hole right into a piece of treated lumber.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

Do carpenter bees measure to the 1/32 of an inch?

I have put out 6 traps and have probably gotten rid of over 150 bees in less than a month. I had one little bastage bore a hole in the bottom of a wooden rocking chair on the deck. Could not believe it.

Cynoff dust in the hole I think it's a 3/8 dowel rod that fits perfectly wood putty over them. Preventive measure is to spray the fence with something like talstar p to repel them. I bet ive fixed a million of those holes
