Have a problem with carpenter bees, there eating my barn. Have sprayed for the last two years but they still keep coming back. Anyone have any answers as to how I can get ride of them for good? Thanks Splitter

  I'd like to make some bee traps for my own use, trying to figure out what the thread would be on a pop bottle.  Compared to 3/4" pipe, but doesn't quite fit.  Does anyone know what you could use for a coupling?

I thought it looked like he used a piece of heater hose or something and slid/screwed them together.

Could just use two bottle caps, take out the tope of each, leaving just the sides with threads, tape togeather with duck tape... (Every good project can always use some duck tape...)

Looked like some heat shrink of some type.

Much like breederman said.

Looks like 1" id soft hose would take the threaded male end of the two plastic bottles and hold them together.
I tried it with some rubber hose that is 1"id and the bottles thread right on (strong enough to hold them). Could prolly add hose clamps if worried they would come loose.
