one of my favorite spring pastimes


Apr 7, 2021, 5:36 PM

is knocking the bejesus out of carpenter bees

You can do it with anything, hand, hat, shoe, but the best is a tennis racket

motherfukers make it easy too by just hovering right in front of you

it is even funner killing them while drinking my last Hopslam on National Beer Day!

Put a new carpenter bee trap up this morning.

Already had three biguns by afternoon. Those mofos love the cedar around my deck—-not this year.

Boss I have traps. 4-5 of them on my deck.

And they work, yes they do. Trouble is, it's like trying to deal with an ant hill catching 1 ant at the time.

The tennis racket method is more effective, AND MUCH MORE satisfying. They are a worthy opponent though. They have to be stalked, and the hitter must be patient prior to fully committing to the bee.

When done correctly, they flip end over end in a not-so-sad kinda way, then wriggle around a bit while taking their last little dirty breath.

I've sent 6 of those buggers to bee heaven just this week. Smacked'em down with a baseball cap and squished'em underfoot. Ain't having a bunch of sawdust on my patio, no siree.

It's been a 25 year battle on my front porch and I have lost.


Apr 8, 2021, 6:16 PM

The little piles of sawdust appear every spring under the bottom boards that hold the spindles on my wraparound front porch. I have fought the good battle. I've tried everything. Had the boards replaced twice. Plugged and sealed the holes with plastic wood/epoxy and repainted. Killed em with spray, swatted em with everything from a tennis shoe to my semi-flaccid peanus, you name it.

Rotten wood in several places again from those asswipes. Getting quotes now to rip out those nice ornate wooden spindles and replace with vinyl. I surrender. They have won. Phaggits. I hate their guts and livers.

A drunk will run a STOP sign, but a stoner will wait for it to turn green.
