Permethrin works but need to treat yearly. It also works on the red wasps as well. Not as much fun as shooting them with my 45 using home brewed # 12 shot shells.

I plug the holes with a chunk of dowel. The end grain seems to be too hard for them to bore through. 3/8 dowel if I remember right. It deters them for a while.

I waited for a dry spell and then soaked the wood with a solution of permethrin. I built my chicken run out of poplar that I milled myself. And it seemed to be like candy for those guys. Since that soaking I find the odd carpenter bee dead on the ground and some scratches where they tried to make a hole.

I have never seen a carpenter bee. They are the ones which wear the big leather tool belt and charge too much, but no one can drill a cleaner 3/8" hole like they can.

Long pole, pool cleaning net. Scoop em out the air, turn net upside down toward the ground. Then step on them while they're in the net

Paint the wood. They only go for raw wood surfaces. Then get a can of carpenter bee spray from your big box store, stick the tube up in the hole and foam it up. When it drys then get a tube of some kine of caulk and squirt it in the hole to seal it off.
When you paint treated wood it take something like Kills for it to stick to the wood and the green crap not to bleed through. Ask the paint dept at your big box what to use to paint treated wood.
