Answer 4

Carpenter bees, ants...I am trying to think why they never were a problem.  Putting on oil paint primer (or oil stain) was something we always did......maybe that was a deterent.  I can't think of any other reason except they do not congregate around painted surfaces.  I cannot say that for latex though(as it was not developed for outdoor use yet on window frames.
