I use traps in combination with spraying their holes. Is that trap in your picture solid wood?

The traps kind of work for me. I made 5 and hung them up. Some are full of bees, and others are empty. Not sure if that's because of how I made them, or the location...

Also I've heard that if you put a dead bee in your trap, it'll attract others. Not sure how true that is though.

So there are 3 main types of drill you may be interested in. The first is a "regular" drill with a chuck (1/2 inch is common here in the US). The chuck is adjustable, so you can use a range of bit types. This will let you drill through wood and other soft materials, as well as drive screws through softer stuff. This is the most versatile drill - most novice DIYers can get by with this alone, although I wouldn't really recommend that.

The second is a hammer drill. These are good for drilling through concrete. They do have a bit of a rattle, but you won't have to use as much force on the drill, since the hammering movement of the drill does that for you.

The last is a impact driver. These also have a bit of a rattle, but are good for driving screws through thicker/harder material. This is like a hammer drill, but the hammering motion is in the direction of the screw threads.

I wouldn't worry about brushless - the main benefit is that the motor lasts longer, so they're good for professional use. I've never had an issue with non-brushless tools.

I'm not sure what country you're in, so I don't know what brands are available. Also not sure about how much you are looking to spend.

That being said, for simple DIY stuff around the house I'd pick a brand like Ryobi or Dewalt. Depending on what you want, you can probably find a combo set with a drill, impact driver, battery and charger for ~$100.

Haha I stumbled upon an "on error resume next" in the wild this week. Definitely had to look that one up.

We still have multiple systems using access in production 🤗

My success in life has been due entirely to weaponizing fear into toxic productivity.

Damn, I feel this.

Same here, CTEs were a game changer for me when I learned about them

I'm surprised in-office work only increased 2% with all the anti-wfh sentiment I'm seeing lately

Next time I buy a house I'll definitely pay more attention to the direction the "main" side faces. Our current place faces north (gets the least sun here in the northern hemisphere). The deck and concrete gets covered in moss/mold and in the winter it's hard to find a spot to sit outside and soak up the sun.
