I guess that it depends on the type of wood borers you are dealing with. Some, yellow jackets, you don't want to mess with. I get those guys building nests below ground level in fence posts. They are damaging, and they are just down right mean, those guys. Then again, I get some wood borers that I don't believe sting, at lest I've never been stung by them. They are about the size of huge bumble bees and a nusance. They don't sting, I don't think, but I usually find them by accident when I happen upon saw dust laying under deck railings, barn trusses, things like that. They come back every year and never use last years nesting hole, those guys.
If you run up against yellow jackets, have meat tenderizer mixed up and ready. It takes out about 90% of the sting pain almost immediately, but that remaining 10% still smarts for a couple of hours. Them guys are just plain mean.
