I let carpenter bees do their thing.

They are amazing pollinators.

Pump sprayer with soapy water. I shoot it in any holes I find and within a minute or 2 they just coming out and falling to the ground. I mean they've already bored a hole at that point but you will still kill a shitload of them. My neighbor mixed a bit of diesel in his but I don't know if that did any more than soap. I also had an old jug of RV antifreeze laying around and he told me to mix that in there... It killed some but I might've just drowned them.

I've tried the brown paper bag. There were bore holes within a couple feet of the bag.
