I have never had to deal with this problem so all I can offer is a link . This is a link of 13 possible ways to rid your shed of them. We had wasps in ours and used a wasp fogger and it did the trick; but there my knowledge ends. Hope this link helps, if not consider professional pest control. Just remember to be very careful.https://www.homeremedyhacks.com/13-home-remedies-get-rid-carpenter-bees/Helpful Reply -

If they're carpenter bees, only the queen can sting. They're really hard to get rid of because it's recommended that you put the product in their holes in the evening and plug the hole. We had reasonably good luck with a product from this company: https://store.doyourownpestcontrol.com/flying-insect-control-products/carpenter-bee-control-products?p=1Helpful Reply -
