Has anyone successfully removed carpenter bees?
(lemmy.world)
I've got a bunch eating holes in my deck structure. I've built a trap, but none have ever gone in it. I'd rather avoid sprays. I've read I could spray the holes with a lemon juice concentrate. I posted a picture of the trap I go through but it doesn't really work.
I bought a fancy trap, and they chewed through it.
I hung paper bags up to simulate a hornets nest. Useless
I've filled in their burrows and repainted. Nope.
Only thing that has worked is hunting them with my pup. She'll track and bark at them, I'll swat them down with a broom, she pins 'em, and I go in for the kill with my boot.
Would love to find a more hands off solution that works, though.They're literally eating me out of home.
