Carpenter BEES , HELP

Date sort Score sort
I'm not a big fan of pesticides but there is a product called " Cyper- WP" that will get rid of carpenter bees. Our house was built before 1860 and we have a beautiful rock chimney that was made with local stone and some kind of sawdust mortar that the bees love . So unfortunately, we have to spray for them every year or two to keep our chimney intact. Cyper is a wettable powder and I think each packet makes about 1 gallon. It will kill termites also , so it is pretty strong be very careful if you use it.
 
Hay! We have them here in the south. Was thinking of a log home but decided we have all the insects that would love to eat it. We built a large porch with treated lumber and here they come. I resorted to wacking them with the dogs stainless steel bowl, I put duct tape over the hole and watched him eat threw from the glue side. Gave me the willies to see his mouth actually chew threw.

Oh I think the tobacco is for the sting-If you get stung you wet some tobacco and put it on the sight and it draws out the stinger.
