Carpenter bee looking to eat my house
When I was a kid, I remember a song that went something like this, “I’m squishing up my baby bumblebee, won’t my mommy be so proud of me.”
Now I am bigger and have “badder” tools to squish up the carpenter bees that are eating up my house. Unfortunately, carpenters bees to not discriminate by zip code so if you have cedar on your house in Atlanta, you are probably experiencing a swarm of them. Since there are not many good green chemicals that can effectively combat these bees for good, I am going to change out all of the cedar on my house to Nichiha fiber cement siding.
Fiber cement is a made out of wood fibers and cement which insects do not like to eat. It also has a 50 year warranty where cedar might last 20 years before needing replacement.
As a green builder/ renovator using fiber cement siding such as Nichiha gets us green points on the checklist as well.
