I have never used anything to treat the carpenter bees. This year they are really bad swarming on the deck. I have inside dogs & a cat that like to lay on the deck. Would this be safe for them or is there something else? I am not one that wants to plug holes. I would like to spray something & be done is there such a thing? thanks
You can use CB D-Foam in the holes to eliminate the bees and larva that are currently present. This treatment will not stop future bees from entering the abandoned holes and it will not stop new carpenter bees from drilling new holes. CB D-Foam will not harm your animals when used in enclosed holes. While there is not a product that will stop all of future carpenter bee activity you can use the products that come in our Carpenter Bee Kit to control them for the season. The Carpenter Bee Kit with Cyonara 9.7 provides a complete carpenter bee control solution for your home. The Delta Dust with the Centrobulb duster allows you to dust in existing carpenter bee holes, and 20 x 3/8 inch plugs to stop up the holes. In addition, the Cyonara 9.7 will make about 20 gallons of finished solution which can be sprayed on target surfaces to prevent further infestation. Cyonara must be applied with a 1 or 2 gallon pressurized sprayer
