I got about 4 that just hover around the covered part of my deck. Since around April. Always in the same area. I was sitting out there drinking cheap, domestic beer and saw one fly in and crawl into hole in one of the ceiling joists.

Ive killed one with my baseball hat and knocked it to ground. I think Imma spray WD40 in the hole. lol bees

Seal it in with sillycone caulk!

Those f@ckers are huge.

Dismember them with a tennis racquet. They move slow enough to get a good swing in.

I like brake cleaner.

And they do hella damage if you don't keep them under control.

We have a bunch in our shed (now the henhouse) I keep a tennis racquet and swat them down - as willness33 noted they are easy to nail. The chickens finish them off. I have sealed them up before with caulk but they always seem to come back.

They will just chew a way out, seen it done before.

Kill them with insecticide.

Put insecticide in hole, then seal. I like expanding foam.

clear packing tape over the hole makes them RAAAAAARRRRRR.

The ones I see here drill perfect 1/2" holes that they live in (attic), they have been for years.

Sealed and done.
