    Call long barrel for honey bees. Follow the procedure below for carpenter bees. If you don't know the difference, call a professional.

    A well timed swing with a tennis racket is the best way to group carpenter bees. The swing should be smooth but fast. Grouping occurs 18-20 feet down range. Final grouping should be with your foot assembling a large swatted group into a shoe sole size group, terminating with a well placed stomp.

    Living in a log home means I'm dealing with the carpenter bees on a daily basis. Myself I prefer a cheep lightweight bad mitten racket. A misplaced swing near the gutters can damage like a cheep hollow point. On a good hunting day I will usually have several with their heads stuck in the racket strings. :rofl:

    You need to borrow my two year old... He'll put a hurtin' on a carpenter bee that's been knocked to the ground, he's like a freakin animal! I'm starting to wonder if the boy doesn't have some anger issues!

    I also live in a log home. I recently purchased carpenter bee traps from a fella on EBay. Search them, you'll find the trap. The trap jar is filling up with the nasty wood munchers. They work. I was informed by another log home owner. Skeptical, now convinced.

    I sprayed my exposed wood with a bug gaurd stuff that's used as a barrier to keep bugs out of the house. They are still hanging around, but there's a noticeable lack of them. Maybe 4 or 5 flying around versus 20 or 30!
