Planning on building a couple of traps to catch carpenter bees this week if I get time. Every year they drill into something here at the house. A couple of times they have attacked the handles on my wheel barrow.

They are about like having giant termites. They will bore into shovel handles and wheel barrow handles and about anything else you can name.
When I was a kid I thought that they were going to eat the barn down and it looked that way at times.

My wife's brother who I do not like sprays his deck with hair spray and it works.

(( racing is the only sport that you need two balls ))

Carscw,

What a hoot....give your deck a doo:0)

P.S.
My favorite "sport"(shooting pool) is more "manly" than racing.....you need 16 balls:0)
