How in the world can there be SOOOO many carpenter bee's and we can't seem to kill them all!!!! What to do? Currently reading...Carpenter Bee Control This is really interesting...If you want to get rid of carpenter bees without using insecticide you may want to try plugging the entrances with caulk or putty. Who'da known?! I guess swatting them/eating them are out of the questions....ok well swatting them down is still pretty fun entertainment
