How can I get rid of bumble bees that live in the wood on the out side of my house?

They some how bore holes in the wood and move in and everything I try to use just runs out the hole.How can I get rid of bumble bees that live in the wood on the out side of my house?
Those are Carpenter Bees, paint ALL your wood they don't like paint. If your wood is unpainted or cracked %26amp; pealing that gives them a place to bore in.How can I get rid of bumble bees that live in the wood on the out side of my house?
I believe that the bees you are refering to are the Carpenter Bees. They are big, black looking, and carve into wood on porchs or around a house or shed.





Some stores such as Wal-Mart, or possibly your local Home and Garden store such as a Lowes or Home Depot should have a ';caulk-like'; substance that you can use to inject into the holes they are currently carving into. These bees don't sting, but they do bite. You can swat them away, or buy a bee killing spray as well.
Bees are really good luck and if I was you I would leave them or buy a bee house and give them somewhere else to live.


Bees have been dying out and if that happens we would not survive, the bees are essential for our very survival, they propogate all the plants and food.


Einstein was quoted as saying ';If the bees die man would only last for 4 years '; as they are so crucial for the plant cycles.


Due to massive use of pesticides and artificial bee farming 50% of the bee population died and caused shock throughout the scientific community. USA was badly hit, some crops failed in california.


Google it and you will see.





Bless the bee's they are our furry friends. We need them.


Buy a bee house.


Love Elektra x x x Bee nice.
they are carpenter bees-fill holes with steel wool %26amp; caulk over





these bees only attack bare surface wood-prime %26amp; paint


or they will increase there drilling. i have seen as many as 50


in a 5-foot 2 x 4
use smoke bomb





buy a vinegar , open it , stick in a piece of rolled clothes / newspaper. Lit fire , FIRE IN THE HOLE !!!
You need to smoke them out or find a way to suffocate them. Cover the holes with duck tape.
