<p>At this time there is no chemical that&#8217;s proven to work with paint or stain when added to it after bringing it home from your local paint supplier. There is a host of reasons why it doesn&#8217;t work even though the concept has been tried.  In the past there have been paints that included a pesticide attempting to accomplish what you want to do but none really worked well. For various reasons the concept just hasn&#8217;t been worked out chemically to where both seem to work together in harmony for any length of time or long term benefit. For the time being, it&#8217;s pretty obvious that a good paint job followed by a good chemial barrier sprayed over the paint is the best option when trying to stop carpenter bees from drilling holes. The liquid concentrate <a  href="http://www.bugspraycart.com/insecticide/liquid/viper-cypermethrin" target="_blank"><strong>Cypermethrin</strong></a> is good at stopping the bees from drilling for several weeks. Treatments will last several weeks and in most cases will chase them away from your home</p>
