Spraying carpenter bees with an insect spray designed for killing bees is a quick fix for those who don't mind the use of chemicals. Make sure to spray directly into each one of their holes to ensure you kill the ones still in the nest.
* 2

Placing caulk over the opening of the carpenter bees' homes will ensure they can't get back in or out, and is a safe alternative to using chemical sprays. Try to apply the caulk late in the evening when the bees will be in the nest resting.
* 3

Vacuuming up the carpenter bees is another safe alternative to using chemical sprays. To do this, have your vacuum on and the hose extension out and ready. Using a long thin stick agitate the nest, and vacuum up the bees as they escape the nest.
* 4

Place drywall putty or more caulk over the opening of the nests after you have gotten rid of the carpenter bees to ensure that more of them don't return.
* 5

If carpenter bee problems are severe or the problem persists call a local exterminator to take care of the problem.
