Wood bees
I have a set of my version of Adirondack chairs in progress.
I want to get ‘em all made up before applying the coating which will be a 2 component catalyzing urethane (I love this stuff). And of course who has room for several over size Adirondack chairs in their shop sooooo I have ‘em outside covered in plastic tarp.
The wood bees seem to like ‘em. I dunno why as they are PT spruce but they like ‘em. They get trapped by flying in low and heading up to the light where the tarp traps ‘em till they die from heat starvation or I squish ‘em.
Gave me an idea:
Take some poison that hornets and wood bees won’t be offended by like chlordane liquid (oops illegal) or Boric acid solution and soak some beat up old wood in it and hang it out with a rain cover, as bait for the wood snaggers and borers.
