Hello, For the past 3 years, I’ve had a couple carpenter bees cutting into 3 wood (4x4) porch posts at my house. There is a 1.5”-2” gap between the posts and my house and they are entering at this location. The posts are painted but the side in question is very difficult to paint due to the location so it lightly painted if any… This has been a recurring battle, made more difficult due to the entrance location. I’ve repeatedly dusted the entrance holes and was able to kill off the bees in at least one of the posts most of last year. However, they are now dormant. It is very difficult to get the dusting agent into the holes due to their location. Any suggestions? When should I start to dust them again, is it too early? Is there anything else I can do/try. Quite honestly.. I found the easiest way to kill the bees was to hit them with a shovel as they exit the holes. They are quite tough but luckily not aggressive. I’d like to plug the holes permanently with an epoxy or something.. any suggestions? Thank you!!!!! Scott

What's the best ovtc roach killer. I have used a hundred diff linds and still have roaches. If I could only find some chloradane but I know it it outlawed. I used it in the 60's and it works but it is outlawed for a good reason. Anyone got ideas ?
