  Bees

I tried the ultra sonic pest chasers. Seems to work on the mud dobbers but it is a little to early to tell about the bees.
Has anyone seen the other varitity? We have the bubble here, but ran into the another variation in Kentucky. It looked more like a yellow jacket. I found a few hundred of them in a green piece of hickory they had made into swiss cheese. I have not seen them since but figured that they could do some damage.

  Bees

Ok Ok, enough with the lady bugs. We have the lady bug problem here how be it not as bad as described by some. They don't bite and they control aphids.
Tom asked about the carpenter bees, which do sting and perferate the wood. The drill a hole about three eights of an inch to one half inch into and along wood, plastic and steering wheels. Does anyone have a good solution to the carpenter bees?
Secondly I would like to know how to control the dirt dobbers, wasps that build mud nests in the barns. For example, I have an electric motor on the air compressor and the dobbers built a nest on the mechanism for the starter. The motor started acting funny and I stopped using the compressor and bought a new one. Eventually I took the motor in to get worked on as it seemed to start but not run. I about kick myself when I realized that the problem was just a mud best.

  Bees

I bought the ultrasonic pest systems and have placed them in the barn, last month. (Six for $20 Wallyworld) Despite this I have a carpenter bee drilling the ledger board on the large front doors. He may be at the edge of the range, I don't see any activity inside the barn.
It seems to be keeping the dobbers at bay so far. Does anyone else have any extended experience with these ultrasonics? Any other suggestions?
