Carpenter Bees

It seems my non-porcines have a problem with carpenter bees. For those that don't know what these are, they are slightly larger than bumble bees and mostly black. They bore holes in wood and nest inside the bored timber. The holes are about the diameter of a finger and can do considerable damage to the wood.

There are nests both on my front porch and lower back deck. Considering the non-porcines keep dragging me outside when I'd rather be eating, and these things are big and buzzy, I think they need to get rid of them to make things safer for me.
