There Is Another Way to Rid Job Sites of Carpenter Bees
Regarding 'Carpenter Bees Can Be Stopped From Tunneling Into Wood,' May 5, why use poisons??? Spraying uncoated wood with borate and then coating it will protect the wood against insects and mold for as long as the coating lasts. (See my preventative treatment article by clicking here.)
I am about ready to present a program on how a building can be coated with a radiant barrier that will prevent the sun's heat and ultraviolet light from entering, but will also protect against insect and mold infestations.
