I deal with troublesome carpenter bees hanging around the house with a badminton racket.

 

Not very nice perhaps but highly focussed and effective and there is no problem of lingering toxicity or collateral casualties.

Subject: [NAFEX] getting rid of carpenter bees

A friend just posted the text below on an on-line forum.  I think this forum is more likely to be able to answer his question than that one.  Any advice?  I doubt he'll go for "leave them alone, they are good pollinators".

Thanks,

Ginda

Carpenter bees are attacking our wood deck. Anyone have experience getting rid of them?
