I didn’t know that carpenter bees could do that much damage. I’d be pissed if I had to spend $10,000 to replace my porch.

That video was bullshite. He hit that deer. The bullet would have to be going something like mach 80 to have that effect




shite, I just googled it and it's a thing. Myth Busters did a show on it and disproved the guys assertion in the video I just linked.

I still don't know how the guy dropped the deer with no entry an exit wounds with a 50 cal.

I used to let them hover in front of me in my dad's old barn and whack em with my Louisville Slugger. A carpenter bee makes a pretty good thud up against a tin wall.

Maybe this is what I need to do because I’ve tried every chemical on the planet, yet they still snack on my pergola.

It's 22 shotshell, anyone can do it. It doesn't really do any damage to wood or concrete. Its a ton of fun. I do it with my 22/45 all the time in the summer.

Bug-a-salt blows arse, you are better off just getting a fly swatter. Mine wouldn't kill a carpenter bee if it was point blank on it.

My brother and I got so good one summer that we were hitting them in flight with a bb-gun.

Yeah, but there has to be a little more pride in being able to shot them. While not that much, they are still a moving target.

I am looking at a S&W 217 right now..

Seems like a really inefficient way to take care of a problem like this.
