[QUOTE="Star*, post: 526052, member: 4964"] Mix up sevin dust with water in a spray bottle and spray exposed wood surfaces often. Make sure your pets can't get to the exposed wood or lick any drippings OR you can do what I'm currently doing and you can say what you think - but LIKE DF he's actually had to eat his words. I've gotten a net, caught them - (Donnas right - they're really not aggressive - they WILL sting - I have a dogs face and 6 weeks of antibiotics to prove that) but once I caught six or seven - now eight of them - them the rest seem to be uninterested in coming back. I also sprayed the holes that existed because that's where they lay their larvae. Havent' gotten up close and personal with that - but guessing. Another person told me to get a badmitton racquet - but I think it's cruel. I catch, and hold them in a tank until I get far away ten miles or better, from the house on the other side of town and let them go. SO far no ones returned that I've released or they've chewed off the nail polish I dotted them with to see if they WOULD come back (homeing device instincts) DF left the last batch in the cage and they died. Not happy about that but also not happy about the holes - The woodpecker seems to have done a smashing job on the tree and now the bees are doing a number on the house. I've seen a few new ones buzz - but they smell the wood - and they're off. No more than two since I caught the other eight. And sprayed. [/QUOTE]
