Concerning the use of Linseed Oil for protection against Boring Bees in wood siding.?
This year in particular we are having considerable trouble with boring bees. We have rough sawn pine board and batten siding with a semi transparent oil based stain. the stain is about 4 yrs. old and fading. The bees are rampant and at present all we are doing is shooting them with wasp and hornet freeze which will knock them down but the damage is already down as they have obviously laid eggs in the holes. Also we have wood pecker damage from the birds trying to find the larva of the bees. So this is a double whammy. We have been told to spray the house with Linseed Oil. Can anyone tell us if this will help keep the bees away? Should we use raw or linseed oil. Should it be brushed on or sprayed. We are desparate for some answers. Thanks.
