Anyway, I read somewhere they hate the smell of pine sol so I bought a spray bottle and sprayed pine sol all around the wood where they have made a home and I havent seen them since. This was Thursday. Fingers crossed, if I don’t see them in the sun/heat tomorrow I’ll
Assume it worked.

I just read that Pine Sol *attracts* carpenter bees. Can you update on your success?

Like giving "diet bars" to Regina George.
Which one is right?

I know this. We wanted them removed. If you read my PP, they pest control company showed up to supposedly do their regular inspection and they sprayed them. I had called and they said they would come take a look and even over the phone they said I would probably have to find someone to have them safely removed. I was working on finding someone to do so when they showed up and sprayed.

I honestly don't know what is back behind the siding. I think only the outside surface was sprayed and it sounded like it was something the repels the bees rather than kills them, but I'm not 100% sure.

I also have a carpenter bee problem. They dug a bunch of holes in my deck support structure last spring. I can also see many old holes underneath the steps. I bought a carpenter bee trap which is just a wooden box with a small hole. The carpenter bees have steadily gone in the hole and gotten trapped inside. No more new holes in my deck.
