Found me a new hobby-and a way to get rid of the swarms of carpenter bees that are tearing up my barn. It's not in the video link, but I'm using .22 cci ratshot.

Yep. Very limited range. If the bees were more than a couple feet away, it wouldn't kill them, just stun them and knock them down. My shoe would do the rest.
I saw a really cool trap for them bastards the other day.
I’ll see if I can find it again, was home made and simple.
edit for video link.

hopefully the link works.
is there a better way to post YouTube vids?
I've tried those traps. Had three up last year. Didn't catch a single one.
They tear the shit out of my fascia and soffit boards. .22 snakeshot out of a revolver. Fun evening past-time.
Yes, Henry is making a smooth-bore .22 for shooting shot out of. Gotta get me one.
If someone could come up with a stain or coating they didn't like, they would be a millionaire over night...lol
We did spray an old fence once with a mixture of diesel and burnt motor oil. Bees would fly up to it and then buzz away.
Yeah, I know but it wasn't a fence near anything. I certainly wouldn't want a fire hazard near my home or anything.
You got my gears turning so I looked it up,

Looks like its already been done and has mixed results.

Try putting a bee or two in each one to start. My neighbor has 3 that he has to empty once a month or so.
