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.
Those are Carpenter Bees, paint ALL your wood they don't like paint. If your wood is unpainted or cracked & pealing that gives them a place to bore in.
