my sister says that if i do not chase the carpenter bees away and let them
drill, the landlord will kill them

Those damned caterpillar-eating wasps are waaaay harder to shoo away.

I sometimes spend weeks, knocking down their new little upstart hive
inside my greenshack, every morning another try, before they finally give
up and go away.

Wasps are stinging insects who are aggressive. They are useful in that
they feed on garden pests in addition to nectar, but they do not pollinate
in the same way that bees do. Wasps are longer than bees and have a narrow
waist.

If you see a wasp nest on your property, do not attempt to remove it on
your own as wasps will aggressively protect their nests. --advice from

Corse they wouldnt be even just a tad biased, eh ?

I spray mine with fly spray and am careful when I do that.

Works fine.
