Ladies,

My DD came running out of her playhouse yelling about bees. I went over and found two huge carpenter bees one eating and one to the side. Lets just say both did not survive my fly swatter/ shoe. There is a small hole in the door of her playhouse now. I worry about more of them coming out and making a permanent home there.

Should I use some paint and paint over it after spraying some bee defense. Or just stain it to the play house.

They had just started the nest and did not get very far in their project before I got to them.

BTW I am supportive of carpenter bees and all the good they do the enviroment, but not in my DD playhouse.

Emily~ I used to fill in the holes with some caulk and that deterred them from returning to my house.
