Place cat inside and flush and make sure Ur back door is open step back
and raise lid

That could be e e Colin that was my mistakel, I looked it up and it was a mistake however cats have been known to be a carrier of Ebola virus. Something I hope we never have to deal with here in America . If there was ever a virus from **** ( that's it)

The astute observer will note that I chose a shirt that would blend in with the brick so as to appear invisible to the carpenter bees.

I have killed 14 carpenter bees with the tennis racquet since I've been working on the back porch. A carpenter bee in the garden stung my little girl on the finger this week. The bee had made a hole in a stake in the garden.

I killed 5 more carpenter bees yesterday while working on the porch. Counting them has been very revealing. I wonder if any larvae have hatched already or if all these bees are the ones building the nests.

Try one of these. A friend gave us one and I have had a lot of fun with unsuspecting friends. They actually have a pretty good zing.

MarkV,
My FIL has one of those he uses for flies. One of those might do well against a carpenter bee. I killed 5 more today.

I knotched the board that goes around the outside posts. The PT posts twisted badly. I made precise out-of-square cuts to accommodate the twisting. The detail made my wife happy. The board is just sitting in place in the pictures. It hasn't been attached yet.

We framed in the opening for the screen porch door. One of the posts was twisted which made squaring up the door a challenge.

We put up tomato cages using T-posts and woven wire fence.

Are the critters enjoying the garden? Look at the bright side a hunting license will help to harvest the nicely fed animals. The meat will fill the freezer for the winter.

PAGUY,
So far so good. Our motion detector scare devices appear to be working or we've just been fortunate so far.

However, caterpillars are causing much trouble. The scare tactics don't work well against bugs.
