there is a cheap spray made specifically for carpenter bees

Paint or stain (underneath where they drill up). Worked for us. ** -- TravelingHokie 04/16/2016 5:46PM

Citronella plants repel most insects. ** -- BusLoadaBozos 04/16/2016 12:59PM

Yeah, called mosquito plants, but the mosquitoes here seem to love them. -- AZHokie59 04/16/2016 1:20PM

I've never thought the plants or candles helped. ** -- Hoakie82 04/16/2016 5:18PM
