Today was the first warm day we have have had (at least for a while). All of

How can I stop these bees from being around my deck and making holes in the
wood. We use our deck a lot in the summer so I want these bees gone


I just swatted one not too long ago. He was trying to select a wooden
resting place in my garage. When they bore into my deck I shoot
insecticide into the hole then plug it up. They can be annoying and
destructive, but I don't think they sting.



They don't sting, and they're very slow. When we had them on our dock,
we swatted at them with a shoe daily over a period of a couple of weeks
(after checking with our extension agent to find out what they were and
that they didn't sting)and killed them off quite nicely.
