First, carpenter bees are diurnal (daytime) creatures. Wait until nightfall before taking any of the following actions. Carpenter bees like to build nests in unfinished (bare, unpainted) wood. Fences and decks are popular targets. For these, wait until the bees have left, and paint the entire structure. Make sure you paint over holes; better is to fill the holes completely with paint or putty, to prevent future use. For an existing, inhabited nest, try blowing Sevin dust (or any other dust with at least 5 percent carbaryl) into the hole, or use an aerosol spray labeled for wasps or bees. Leave the hole open for a few days, to allow the bees to track the poison into the nest inside the wood, then seal with putty or carpenter's glue. I've included a link to the right that has much more in-depth info. Good luck! ~pS!~
