This Carpenter Bee Trap is deceptively simple but extremely effective. The trap itself is constructed of wood and plastic bottles. The Carpenter Bee Trap does not need a bait or any additional lure to do its job. The trap looks like the holes where the carpenter bees live. They fly into the Carpenter Bee Trap become trapped in the plastic bottle and their buzzing and natural scent attracts their carpenter bee friends to come and join them.
Place the Carpenter Bee Trap over existing carpenter bee holes or in other areas of the structure where the sun shines directly. This trap once in place will last for years.

Carpenter Bee trap
By Russell on April 21, 2013
Verified PurchaseHey, bought two. Both trapped bees within two days of putting up! However, the construction appeared to be done a little hasty, as there was inconsistencies in the workmanship...one's roof was completely to one side instead on centered...but hey, they worked fine...obviously the bees don't care!

It truely works!
By Barbara on May 5, 2013Finally after 5 years of torment, I can sit on my deck. Tried everything, including professional pest control. Took a few weeks, but after one bee found its way to "home", I had 20+ in the trap. So simple - so effective.

Don't Buy it.
By John on May 2, 2013 Verified PurchaseIt is poorly made. Looks like a kid made it in cub scouts with a hand saw. I guess the bees think so also. No one has moved in yet. Bees al around but none in the bottle. The trap has been up for over 1 week.

No Luck Catching Carpenter Bees
June 10, 2013I hung the Carpenter Bee trap on the sunny side of the house where carpenter bees are having a field day drilling my house. Not one has shown any interest in this so-called trap.

- Made one myself
By Sarah on June 16, 2013After seeing these online I decided to make one myself. It only took about 45 min to make and after hanging 3 days ago I have 4 bees in it. This was simple to make and is working well. Not sure how many bees we have left after killing a handful with the water hose and a tennis racket!

AThe carpenter bee traps comes with the piece of wood that contains the hole.
May 21, 2013Sue from Melrose, Massachusetts asked:
QOnce they're trapped, now what?
What is recommended to do with the bees once they're trapped in the bottle? Is there a humane way to dispose of them? If brought to a heavily wooded area, would they be more likely to use trees instead of buildings?
AWe think this question would be better answered by the creater of the trap to assist you in humanely removing them. You can reach Carpenter Bee Solutions at 256-253-2019.
May 26, 2013Marsha from Asheville Nc asked:
QHow and what is the trap attached to?
Can you hang it from a nail? Or do you nail or screw it to the wood surface?
AThe carpenter bee trap has a flat top and one flat side so it may be screwed to wood directly over the existing carpenter bee holes. You can also just hang the carpenter bee trap by the wire on top. If you wish to remove the wire, just push it out through the bottom of the carpenter bee trap. If you have a new structure and want to avoid a carpenter bee infestation, place the carpenter bee traps on corners and peaks of buildings for the best results. Carpenter bees really prefer the sunny side, so the carpenter bee traps will catch more carpenter bees on that side.
May 29, 2013June from Dayton, Oh asked:
Qwould it help to try to "load" a dead bee into the Carpenter Bee trap to lure others in?
I've not ordered this product yet. Reviews vary greatly. Thanks
AThe Carpetner Bee Trap is a fairly new product for us. We do know that when carpenter bees die, they release a pheromone that attracts other bees to the sight. You are more than welcome to check out the actual manufacturers website http://www.carpenterbeesolutions.com/.
June 1, 2013Lindsey from Belle Vernon Pa asked:
QHow do I keep the bees in the trap?
I had a bee go into the trap and then got out? Aren't they suppose to get stuck in it?
AYes, the idea of the Carpenter Bee trap is that the bees have no way of escaping. This is very strange that the bee was able to escape. Please contact Carpenter Bee Solutions for help trouble shooting with this trap.
