Is there any way to get rid of them? They're drilling holes in a wooden playset (the chickens like to dust bathe under it) and are becoming more numerous. Would they be any danger to my hens(and me!)?

NOT! They are quick little buggers. I use a tennis racket and go on daily carpenter bee patrol. One year they invaded the fascia on my pigeon loft. That winter the woodpeckers went searching for their grubs and destroyed much of the fascia.Seems like they'd be easy snacks for the hens.
Ours are working already. Filled one pint half way and one 3/4 last year and off to another good year along with bee badminton. Made 2 of these up in a half hour. Have seen them for as much as $26.00.These work very well. I sand the outside wood every year to freshen the wood scent. All of the bees were trapped by the end of the day - not one left buzzing around.
