My carpets are infested with fleas I've tried everything and nothing seems to work.
I found two links that might help
https://knowledgeweighsnothing.com/get-rid-carpenter-bees/

I would ask at a store, for I did spray some bee/wasp spray on the hole, and area, and they did not bother that area, again. So, you may want to check into this. Or, get a book, or look into google about this., or ask at a store who is working in a store in the dept of bug problems. Best wishes. Judy.
Thanks for the help. I'll try the suggestions and see which one works the best.![](http://cdn-fastly.hometalk.com/resources/design/emojis/263a.png)
I cut scrap 2x4's about 3" and use 3 and drill holes in center to run wire thru the center and hang where the bees are. I also hang a couple about 10 feet from our deck .They always seem to migrate to the wood I have cut. I always fill the hole by putting 000 steel wool followed by some silicone discourages them from coming back and protects from water damage.
Keep your wood siding painted.
