Customer Reviews for Carpenter Bee Control Kit

I'll be honest, I had no idea if this would actually take care of the problem. We had recently purchased a home that had been left unattended for awhile. Carpenter bees had made a home on the outside of the house. I would see dozens of these bees flying around and there were tons of holes. I sprayed the wood as instructed (in the evening) and followed up with dusting each hole. The holes were so extensive that some times I would blow dust into one hole only to see it puff out of another hole a foot away. A day later I expected to see at least a few bees, but the dozens that had been around were completely gone. No carpenter bees in sight. A couple weeks later and I would sometimes see a carpenter bee dead on the sidewalk or on the porch. It appears the residual nature of the poison is also doing it's job for any new carpenter bees that think those existing holes would make a good home. I imagine this has also taken care of the larva in the holes. For about 10% of the cost of an exterminator plus an hour of my time, the problem is resolved! I even have plenty of leftover product in case I need to treat again next year.

This kit didn't have any directions included. We received three bottles of liquid poison with no instructions for use. One bottle of powder with no instructions and the bulb and plugs. I assumed when I purchased the kit I would need everything included but we only used the powder after googling and watching a video. This kit needs better instructions. I hung a carpenter bee trap next to the area where the bees made holes and the trap works great. I'm hoping the powder killed any eggs that were in the holes.

If all customer services experiences went like they do here people would be a lot happier!

I had a severe carpenter bee issue, and tried many different products to control/eliminate them. Nothing that I've tried gave the results I was expecting. Someone recommended Delta Dust. This product works very good. Being a dust that is blown into bee holes, it stays in the holes and remains effective for at least two weeks. (The instructions say to plug the bee holes after two weeks.) Wonderful product. Good price. Good supplier.

It worked. Additionally in the last twenty plus years we never had house ants. The spray and dust took care of that problem

I've had a lot of carpenter bees for about 5 years so I ordered the kit from DoMyOwnPestControl and sprayed as directed. I sprayed again about a week later and I haven't seen any more bees. I am a happy buyer!

I was very pleased with control kit. Used dust, plugged up all the bee holes and sprayed twice. Noticed a bee dead next day after spraying. Noticed no activity after this. Works great.

I watched as the exterminator treated my house for carpenter bees. It looked simple then charged me $275. I was floored. He didn't even have a ladder...he had to borrow mine. Steamed? You bet I was! You could have lit a cigarette off my forehead I was so hot! I started searching and found the same stuff the exterminator was using available on line. I still had a big bee problem in my barn but I wasn't going to fork over any more money to those fools so I bought the recommended carpenter bee kit and did the work myself and ridded myself of carpenter bees. Great stuff. Do it yourself! It's easy and you will save a bundle.

Arrived at our cabin in GA to MANY carpenter bees digging holes in the wood. Within 48 hours of using your kit they were falling quickly. A week or so later they were completely gone. Thanks much!

The quality of the Carpenter Bee Kit is excellent. I've used the spray in my one-gallon garden sprayer and applied the dust in the provided dusting bulb to an outdoor shed and to date I have not seen a bee in or around the shed. I have two hanging bee traps (just in case), and they remain empty. The last stage is to plug the bee-made round holes in the roof beams with the plugs provided, which is due in a couple of days. I am glad I didn't have to call an exterminator, and I have plenty of product left over in case I need to have a round 2.

I used this in the carpenter bee holes and so far they have been controlled. The product was relatively easy to use. However, I think some instructions as to how and when to use the products included would be helpful. Also the dust would sometimes come out of the holes.

Ordering this product was simple and easy. It actually arrived a few days early. Used the spray and then the dust an had between 40 & 50 dead Carpenter Bees on my porch. This stuff really works.

Don't hire an exterminator. We did and it was useless for carpenter bees in a log home. This was very easy to use and the bores vacated ASAP. Not only did the bores leave but also the carpenter ants we had no idea were there. We will be using this again if necessary, with no hesitation.

I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has carpenter bees. If you hear them still a day or so after application, do not worry.

Friends have recommended Delta Dust to control Carpenter Bees. The product actively controls bees for many days, and works better than any other that I've used. I could not be happier. The product exceeds my expectations.

I just built a back yard swing with a roof. Days after completion Carpenter Bees started chewing holes into the roof and frame. I saw this kit on a Youtube video and tried it out. I simply followed the instructions and NO More bees. I highly recommend this product. It worked instantly. The bees didn't have a chance.

Seems to work so far. I hope that I don't have carpenter bees in the fall or spring.

I received the kit promptly. It also seems to be working. I was very disappointed when I opened the box and everything in it had pesticide dust on it from the bottle of powder that was in the package. The cap was loose and dust was escaping. Not sure if I will order anything else. If I do and that happens again then that will be the last time.

Used this kit to control/treat a carpenter bee infestation on my huge wrap-around porch. It was already treated by an exterminator, but they kept coming back. Used this once and they are no longer flying around and burrowing into my porch. I would highly recommend this product. Easy to use it works.

I own & maintain a log home. Purchased the carpenter bee control kit which, arrived quickly but the duster had a broken safety cap on the tip. I reported the issue to Do My own and they kindly had the duster MFG company ship me a replacement which arrived in a few days, awesome. I dusted two bee holes with the Delta Dust and a few days later saw the female bee grooming its entry, laughing at me... This time I gave the duster a few good extra squeezes into the holes and only 3 hours later two bees were lying on the deck floor, not laughing anymore! The included bee hole plugs sealed the deal perfectly and now I feel in control, awesome "KIT" even though I have not used the liquid concentrate yet! Highly recommend- Thanks DMO!!

Works better than described! Kills almost on contact! The only change would be to only wait a couple of days before putting in the plugs. I saw some complaints that the plugs were too big for the hole, ( mine fit perfectly ) just drill it out with a 3/8” bit, 1/2” deep. I haven't tried the preventative spray yet, going to use that in the Spring.

This kit has all you need to address a Carpenter Bee problem. You could spend a lot of time buying individual components. This is a one stop purchase at a very reasonable price. I will buy from DoMyOwn again.

The bellows duster is well made, but the wand is not flexible, so I wasn't able to get any dust past the entry hole and into the nest. The "Carpenter Bee Dust Application" video shows dust application using a bulb duster. If a bulb duster with a flexible tip is the better option for treating carpenter bees, then that should have been part of the "Carpenter Bee Control Kit" and not the bellows duster. Money wasted!
