How can we get rid of "carpenter bees"?

Use a little surfactant with it, saturate all the exposed wood, use a power sprayer if you can, soak it good, might take a couple of applications. Usually good for the year once you get them under control. Of course it goes without saying to follow all the safety info on the label. Use the higest rate the label allows. -%26gt; http://www.kountrylife.com/forum/messages/4090.html You can find other answers and testimonies http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/bees/msg1006400111650.html I%26#39;d like to be a Websearcher ...

Oh I feel your pain! We%26#39;ve been enduring carpenter bees in the trim of our house for 10 years. I%26#39;ve tried everything, including whacking them with a baseball bat (and that is tremendously satisfying!). This is an excellent web page about carpenter bees http://www.pestproducts.com/carpenterbees.htm The most widely recommended product to kill carpenter bees is Drione. You can read about it here http://www.pestproducts.com/drione_dust.htm unfortunately I see that you are in New York and it apparently cannot be shipped to New York. Good luck! Gary
