Carpenter Bee Control
We have noticed a carpenter bee problem on the outside of our sunroom. The area is located in a hidden area underneath the aluminum flashing corner where the side and front meet.

I have several holes on the upstairs window sill which is very high up, too high to climb since the ground is not level or stable under where I need to get to dust these holes. Since it is outside a window, we are tossing around the thought of cutting a hole in the window […]
I have bees under my deck. I can’t get to the holes so what do you suggest I do? Is there something I can spray or a container I can put out to trap them? I’m desperate, they’re driving me crazy and scaring my grandkids. Thank you, Barbara. As our carpenter bee article explains, you […]
