2 questions:

1. I have hundreds of carpenter bees. I've lived with them in my front redwood for 20 years. A couple have now migrated to the back patio (in one of thecedar posts). I do not want the back invaded, and I might want to sell my home. My postman is nervous though I have consoled him. 

I don't want to kill them, but spring and fall are the best time to sell houses, and that's when there most plentiful. WHAT TO DO? 

2. I have some friends who take their kids out to help with their landscaping work on weekends. The children are absorbing insecticides and herbicides in multiple ways, What is a simple to read and understand (for kids) in English, and in Spanish for adult men?
