Drill a pilot hole for the screw in the center of the counterbore. Drive the screws to the bottom of the counterbore. Insert the plug into the counterbore. Sand the surface to hide your work.

Answer: Plugs are great for projects where you may need to access the screws again for disassembly. They are also a good option if you don’t need the screws to be completely invisible. Purchase plugs that are the same material as your project’s surface. They’ll be available at a hardware or home improvement store in a variety of bit sizes.  For example, use oak wood plugs if you’re attaching oak treads to a staircase and want to hide your screws. You can also use screw cap covers, which come in a variety of colors and materials and fit into the head of a Philips head screw. Many can be painted or stained to match the look of your project. For custom projects, you can also make your own plugs, provided you have a drill press. Just purchase a plug cutter for your drill press that matches the counterbore size of your screw holes.  Clamp a piece of wood that matches your project to your press table, set your press to medium speed, and use steady pressure to slowly feed the plug cutter into the wood until it bottoms out the wood.  To remove the cut plugs from the wood strip, first tape the cut surface so the plugs won’t roll away when you remove them. Use a bandsaw to cut through the piece of wood near its bottom, which is the side opposite the one you made your plug cuts. Once you slice through the wood, you can remove the plugs by pulling off the tape and pushing out any that don’t stick with a screwdriver. Another option is to buy a wood dowel in a similar color to your project, the same size as your counterbore. After putting in the screw, apply a little wood glue to the counterbore and tap in the dowel. Cut the dowel flush with the surface and sand it smooth. You’ll need to counterbore your screw holes in order to secure your plugs. It’s best to choose a piece of scrap wood and test out your counterbore bit and plugs. That way, you’ll be sure that your plugs fit well into your counterbores without ruining your project. After testing on scrap wood, drill a counterbore into the surface where you’ll be hiding the screw hole using a brad-point bit. If necessary, mark off where you’ll be driving your screw beforehand. The counterbore’s depth will depend on your needs, but should be no deeper than half the depth of your project’s topmost piece of wood.  For example, if you’re attaching wood treads to a staircase that are 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) thick, your counterbore should be no deeper than 1/4 inch (0.64 cm). To help guide you, measure your bit for the proper counterbore depth and tape off the area above it. Select a twist with the same diameter of your screw’s shank, and attach it to your drill. The brad-point bit that you used to counterbore will leave a small, tapered mark in the center of the bore. Place the twist in this centered mark and drill your screw’s pilot hole. Repeat this process to make bores and pilot holes for each screw you need to drive. After you’ve made your bores and pilot holes, drive your screws. Use a screwdriver or a drill bit with the appropriate head (most likely Phillips head) for your screws. Be sure to drive them tightly to the bottom of each counterbore. Dab a small amount of carpenter’s glue into the sides of a bore. Take a plug, whether store-bought or custom-made, and line up its face grains with the surrounding wood surface of your project. Insert the plug into the bore, and use a mallet to gently tap it into place.  Use a damp rag to wipe away any glue that leaks out when you tap the plug into place. Repeat this sequence to hide each of your screws. Give your glue enough time to dry according to its instructions. When it’s dry, use medium to fine grit sandpaper (at least 180 grit) to smooth over your work surface and make the wood plug flush. Dry wipe or vacuum any residue to finish hiding your handiwork.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Play loud sounds on speakers to encourage nearby bees to leave. Spray infested areas with a natural citrus spray. Apply almond oil or essence around the nest to repel bees. Place a physical bee trap that will lure in and trap carpenter bees. Use a tennis racket to kill carpenter bees when they're most active. Have a beekeeper relocate the bee nest if you don't want to kill them.

Answer:
Carpenter bees are notoriously sensitive to noise (which may in fact be a sensitivity to vibrations). Set up a boombox or loud speakers next to the area they've infested and play loud music for 2-3 days to encourage them to leave.  This method is one of the safest and least bothersome means of getting rid of carpenter bees. There is a chance the bees might eventually return to the area of infestation after you dispel them with loud sounds. For best results, take preventive measures on the wooden structure as soon as the bees have all left. If you have neighbors who live close by, make sure you let them know you plan to use noise to get rid of your bee infestation before beginning this process. The loud music may be bothersome to them. Cut up the rinds of several different citrus fruits (orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit) and boil them in a shallow pot filled with water. Fill a spray bottle with the citrus-extract water and spray the carpenter bee burrows with it. Carpenter bees, like other insects, have a natural aversion to citrus oil (which is why the skin and rind protect the fruit on the inside — to keep it away from predators) and so will be particularly bothered by your citrus-extract spray. This spray won't kill the bees, but it will make them want to leave whatever wood they've built their nest in. Like citrus spray, almond oil and almond essence is another tried and true option that repels carpenter bees. Place the oil around the nest and any visible bee holes to encourage the bees to leave and prevent future reinfestation. A very non-invasive means of getting rid of your bee infestation is to buy a bee trap and place it near the area of infestation. The trap will attract carpenter bees and prevent them from escaping, thereby slowly reducing the population of bees infesting your home.  Hang your trap directly above the carpenter bee holes. If you don't have an infestation, hanging traps is also a good method of preventing one. You can find bee traps online, in pest control and home gardening stores, and in some department stores. In the spring, carpenter bees fly around looking for burrows to lay eggs and deposit pollen as food for the larvae. This means they are very active for 2-3 weeks. Use a badminton or tennis racket to effectively smack and kill carpenter bees.  If you want to ensure the bees are dead after you smack them, you can also step on them with shoes after they've been smacked to the ground. Because male carpenter bees are unable to sting and are the ones most likely to be buzzing around the nest, you're unlikely to be stung using this method. Note that this is NOT a preferred method of getting rid of your bee infestation, since carpenter bees are helpful pollinators that are necessary for the proper cultivation of many crops. If you want to get rid of your carpenter bee problem without killing them, your best bet is to contact a professional beekeeper and have them relocate the nest. You may have to pay them for this, but it will be better than having to kill a large number of bees.
