Fair enough, seeing an occasional one is fine. I moved into a house with an infestation a while back, there were hundreds of them living in the porch rafters. There were dozens of them swarming the porch at any given time during the day.

Traps did nothing for me. I used liquid nails and filled in their holes at night while they were sleeping. 10% would chew their way back out, so I repeated until they were gone.

I don't mind bees in general, but I have a distaste for carpenter bees after that experience.

That's fair! The only traps I had success with were this type which I got from Lowe's. https://beesnthings.com/collections/carpenter-bee-trap the ones with the jars weren't as attractive.

And yes, I definitely experienced much frustration those first few years. I also plugged some holes only to find they are through it lmao.
