Carpenter Bee annihilation/fun

[User170512]

I need to make up a fresh batch of traps. Key is to put at least one dead "starter bee" in the bottle.

I use a 22 revolver with rat shot. Living in the country is awesome.

The worst part of this is when the woodpeckers come calling for the larvae last year had 1 destroy our porch swing splintered wood all over the porch. Got an oak swing now

I have the out door version and it will not stop carpenter bees. A red Ryder will but that’s a harder shot. So we usually go for tennis racket

We use airsoft M4's and shoot them off the flowers.

I could see where an all wood house could be a problem. A regular smorgasbord for bees as it were.

His issue was their "L" shaped burrows in the stringers of stairs exiting a wrap-around porch. Too many burrows weaken a stairway.

You're shooting bumblebees, not carpenter bees which don't pollinate anything.
