Ours seem to like the rafters too.  I don't know when these things propogate, 
but between last spring and this spring, we have had the house and garage 
resided with boxed in eaves and soffits, and new metal roofs.  If the bad-bees 
laid eggs last year that would hatch this year, those new-bees are gonna be 
reeeeeel frustrated -- and contained.  This won't do a thing to help the garden 
shed, the tractor shed or the horse barn, but I'll feel a little bit better 
anyway.  MA
