I have carpenter bees in my hollow porch column.  It is open at least half way on the top.  I have another column that does not appear to have them and also has a half opening on the top. What can I drop down there to kill them. I saw some sawdust on the column and sprayed it with water as I was trying to clean my porch as I had a viewing, my house is up for sale.A few of them stung me and took 2 weeks to stop the itching and puffiness. What can I do? I was going to call an exterminmator but not sure what that would cost.

I’ve read a lot of info on the internet about bumblebees and the ones we are having trouble with aren’t nesting as the experts suggest.  They are hovering around the eve of our porch roof which means they are constantly very close to the door we come in and out of.  They are huge, and we’ve seen at least 3 adult size bumblebees.  When they come around each other they seem to fight and chase each other away.  The problem is we never see them land.  They will be there hovering all day, every day, as long as the weather is warm (spring through summer).  It’s crazy!  We’ve tried typical bee spray and that has no affect on them.  We can not see any sort of hive to treat.  We will try to find the Bee Freeze product you talked about because I think if we can get rid of these three large bumblebees, maybe we won’t have any more trouble.  We’ve been in this house for 11 years, and we’ve only had this issue for the past 2 summers.  What else can we do?  Do you have any advice?  I am concerned my children will get stung, or the bumblebees will come inside when someone enters, and I want to prevent either of these two things from happening.  Thank you in advance for your reply.  C.B.

I have bumble bees coming into my sunroom throughout the day, I always manage to get the window open and let them out, there is a deck attached to the sunroom but I am not sure if that is where the nest is. I let 3-4 out the window every day. Not sure what to do since I do not know if they are in the wall or coming from the deck area. I only get one bee at a time (Thankfully). Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed as I know it is only a matter of time before me or my cats get stung.
