We had trouble with carpenter bees at our house and a fresh coat of paint did take care of the problem.

We have them eating the treated wood now.  How come they are not dying?   Is the wood to well aged?

Maybe not eating the wood, but just chewing it and removing it.  Probably not enough preservative left to kill them.

I know that a fresh coat of paint just slows them down a little.  They still eat everything on the house, the shop, the barn, the well house.........even the swing set.

I enjoyed watching the bumble bees around my shed and figured I could live with the little round holes.  Then, this summer the woodpeckers came along and pecked out the rows of larvae below or above each hole.  That did get rid of some bees, but my shed is beginning to a look little raged with 6 to 8 inch strips of boards laid open by the birds.
