Anyone know how to get rid of Woodbees (Woodbores)?  They are boring holes into my porch and the bugman said no one knows how to get rid of them?

Don't know how to get rid of them, I just kill them one at a time as I find them with the foaming Bee killer.  If you find anything out, let me know!!

I would use Tempo made by Bayer.  It is a great insecticide, labeled for carpenter bees, and is extremely safe around pets and kids.  In fact it's labeled for food prep areas.  Great product.

Bayer has some great products.  They have a fire ant mound killer that works better than any product I have ever seen.

As a kid I always enjoyed using an old tennis or badminton racket.


Now I just wait till the bee goes into his hole and then shoot some bee/hornet/wasp killer in the hole and kill him in the hole.

Hehe. Yep, I can relate. We used to grab a couple of ping pong paddles and head for the barn for some redneck tennis.
I coined the phrae " They may be Wood Bees now, but they are about to be Has Beens".

I did very well with Airsoft 6mm BB guns.

M-4 Carbine and Beretta 92f Military models.  Over a period of maybe a week I killed 20 or so and have not had any problems since.  On an interesting note, when I got what I thought to be the queen bee she spattered with a very orange blood type goo substance.

Too much fun!

     Trying to picture Golfer's "saved" porch with 9mm and 5.56mm
Golfer holes through it ;)

Hard Drying Epoxy. Fill Holes. Laugh as Bees Cant Get out or in.

Of Course I never tried this, But It seems logical without bees bringing in food to the Queen and Larvae, They couldnt survive.

Of course thier wood boring bees, so there is a chance it could create a bigger problem? Who Knows... Try it out.

We had a Car Port, that the bees absolutley loved. I Would grab a Stick or Pipe or anything and swat them down for hours.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
