How to Keep Carpenter Bees Away from a New Deck
Check your home, fencing, shed and all other wooden structures on your property for the telltale holes that signify carpenter bee activity.

If the foil remains undisturbed for 24 to 36 hours, then apply caulk around and over the tinfoil balls and holes.
