Call a pest control expert for getting rid of bees

Dear Glenn: I seem to have large bees flying around my porch area. They are not honeybees but I believe they are carpenter bees. I see some wood dust around. I talked to a couple of bee caretakers who tell me they are male bees looking to mate. I'd like to see them find a new home. Any suggestions?

Eddie, Harper Woods

Dear Eddie: This is a subject that I do not tackle on my radio show, but I would call Paul at Maple Lane Pest Control, (800) 870-7096, www.maplelanepestcontrol.com. They have more than 30 years of experience in the pest control area.
