Can nuisance carpenter bees be 'relocated'?

Asked by turtlegrrrl (337points) March 24th, 2010

Hello fine fellow flutherers!
I am finding myself rapidly being inundanted with carpenter bees that are making swiss cheese out of my wooden house! There are more than twenty (and counting) that have taken up residence under my gutters, and I am at a loss as to what to do about them?
I do not like killing things if it can be at all avoided; instead I am curious if anyone knows if they can be captured and relocated?
If not I will have to resort to something else to protect my house. It is an old house, but it’s the only one I have and I’m rather fond of it!
Please, if anyone has any knowledge about these creatures, experience with this problem, or ideas on how to save my house, I would greatly appreciate it!
I hope this question finds all of the readers well, safe and happy!
