drill bit should be 12mm want to drill 75mm deep and you want to be 100-150mm off the wall and 200mm between each hole.

That's actually what makes them a problem, they are decimating the carpenter bee population, and carpenter bees are seen as vital pollinators of native plants that rely on "buzz pollination". They break into their nests and mummify the poor things alive, then they take over. They aren't just doing this to ones around buildings, they are also doing this to ones minding their own business inside logs in the woods, or various other bees in bee hotels. Plus, they are the primary pollinator of kudzu, a plant that, much like them, is invasive. Personally, I wouldn't just try to drive these things away, I'd eradicate any I see. We already have a native predator for controlling carpenter bees anyway, it's the tiger bee fly, a parasitoid that eats their eggs, they are pretty good at keeping their numbers in check without threatening the local ecosystem in the process.

@@chitinskin9860 Yes I saw these very aggressive looking triangular winged flies, wasn't sure what they were but found that they were tiger bee flies, so not only do I have these resin bees, but also have tiger bee flies. Still haven't seen a carpenter bee around my property since my original post. Until this year I didn't have resin bees or tiger bee flies, at least not that I noticed, strange that they seemed to both show up almost at the same time.

@@Brian-dh2zz They are both attracted to carpenter bees, the resin bee wants to steal their nest (because they can't build their own), while the tiger bee fly wants to prey on them. If the carpenter bees aren't there anymore, the tiger bee flies might be preying on the resin bees, but I'm not 100% sure if they would do that, so my assumption could be wrong.

You have to go at least 4 to six inches out to avoid hitting a footing in the slab ,the plug can be matched by adding some of the drilled concrete into the patch mix which blends better after it cures

Have you ever tried to seal anything by filling the hole with continuous caulk or concrete ,you would use an entire tube of caulk on one hole.the cork gives the concrete patch something to grip onto and seal quicker

That is assuming too much when you assume you make an ass out of you and me(u and me

@@michaelmerck7576 This makes sense, I was not aware of how far you needed to be away from the house.

@@michaelmerck7576 I was referring to the amount he put on top of the plug to I’m guessing “cover” the plug up. He just put a small layer on there, more than likely leaving the plug still visible. My entire point of this wasn’t to try and hide the fact that you have termite damage/treatment because you’re required to list that when you go to sell your home. My main complaint was the fact that the liquid treatment is nearly $2,000 and I feel as if they were sloppy when performing the work, that’s all.

He didn’t even sweep up the concrete before treating

@@seana.5269 If you swept it first you are going to get it back in the holes ,you want to do when you start to patch the holes.ive never seen any tech sweep the holes before treating it's stupid to do so

@@michaelmerck7576 I treat every day and sweep before treating. Never have an issue with concrete dust blocking my drill holes, keeps concrete off my injector.

@@michaelmerck7576 Also sweeping after you treat, you get concrete powder over wet product. That can harden and block future treatments when re drilling holes. And if the injector gets a little product on the surrounding power it makes it harder to sweep.

@@michaelmerck7576 no you can definitely sweep before treating and it’s what you should do as long as you’re not negligent the hole will still take chemical If you knock half of the dust you drilled out then yea the dust will block the chemical but you have to really suck for that to happen

Not really

Those things are nice to have but once your able to maintain a seconds per gallon count then it’s fine. As a pest control professional, I’d just want to know what chemical was used.

@@freegibran some states it is mandatory

@@Visionspestsolutions2019 Agreed.

@Ed B Go stand in the corner.

@@freegibran I can tell you quite confidently he’s not putting 4 gallons per 10 linear feet. No matter the pressure used on his pump.

There are houses built on slabs so the units are in the attic or upstairs. Also this house may of had a basement that didnt need any work done in it

Uh yes

@@Josieman543 shut up and thank you.

You're the one that asked

@@Josieman543 its the way you answered it by saying "uh yeah" like you mean duh..

Ive never hammered the concrete but just jammed mini corks in the holes with a screwdriver then put cement

500 and up

Atleast 1k+

1500
