I recently discovered my new home seems to have a major carpenter bee infestation in the roof of one outbuilding. Last weekend while "visiting" the property I noticed a large number (appx 2 dozen) what I think are carpenter bees in/around the eaves at the back of one shed. This building is almost covered by a large vine thicket which I need to remove - but now I have to deal with the bees first. I realize that if they are carpenter bees I will probably need to replace the damaged lumber, but first

I NEED TO GET RID OF THE BEES!!!

Both so I can access the brush to clear it, the building to repair it, and so my daughter and niece aren't in any danger from wayward arial bombardment!

Any helpful suggestions appreciated!!
