I sure wish I could still get DDT! I own a log home and these
horrible carpenter bees are devistating many of the logs. None of the
current pesticides seem to do anything. I think they just eat it.
These bees are good for nothing, they don't pollinate anything. I
sure hope these stupid idiot tree huggers get a grip and quit trying
to make everything illegal or all the trees will be dead. They quit
spraying for gypsy moths in parts of Virginia a few years ago and many
of the trees in the National Parks are dead as a result. Point is,
some pests are harmful to our way of life and should be exterminated.

AMEN!!!!!
They have been drilling holes in the support poles in my front deck for a
couple of years now. I've tried to fill the holes with spray foam, but they've
just chewed it out of their way.
