Customer Reviews for Trebor Plastic Plugs - 1/2 inch

I tried to use the plastic plugs on 10 bee holes under my deck.  I found that the bees were not given enough training to consistently create perfect 1/2" holes in the wood. These plugs could not be hammered into many of the holes.  I ended up bringing a drill with a 1/2" spade bit outside. After not being able to get to some with the bit, I abandoned the plug theory and brought out my caulk king gun. That worked. It might help to taper the nose of these plugs to allow you to get it seated and then driving it home. They sound great in theory but were not consistently able to do what was advertised.

  Expert response:
Thank you for your feedback. Some of the 1/2 inch plugs have not been working for Carpenter Bee holes.  This has never been an issue until this year.  For now, we'd recommend using the 3/8 inch plugs for carpenter bees, which seem to be working well for our customers.  You can find the Trebor 3/8 inch plugs here.

I love these plugs and neither Lowes or Home Depot has them. Instead of plugging holes made in patio and/or other concrete areas around the house with concrete or cauk fillers which often don't match in color the T-plugs make holes look neat and uniform. All I have to do the next time I treat is drill through the Trebor Plug/retreat/re-plug so I keep a good supply on hand. I simply place the T-plug in the 1/2 inch hole and pound lightly until they a flush with stone surface.Ideal!. I've been using Dominion 2L to treat for termites and have been doing a very thorough job all the way around the house. This will save the cost of a hired treatment service every year or two by far. Thank you. I plan to keep ordering we needed.

I had to treat my home for termites by drilling hundreds of 1/2'" holes in my cinder blocks. I started filling the holes with mortar mix. The mix was falling out of my hands onto the basement floor. My hands were cramping from constantly trying to push mortar into the holes and it was a pain. I found these plugs which simply get tapped from a hammer and the hole is plugged! If future treatment is needed, I will push this plug through the block with a round chisel, retreat and install a new plug. These are well worth the money. Many hours of labor saved and no mortar to clean up! These plugs seal 100% of the hole. No need to worry about air infiltration.

I used these after drilling a 1/2" holes into a cement slab injected insecticide into the slabs that were drilled after I was done with my applications I went around to each hole using a rubber hammer and popped them in have had no pop outs and the have stayed flush to the cement slab and being lite gray they also do not stick out after inserting them Now in a year I should be able to pull them out and reapply my insecticide and install new plugs with out having to re-drill

I am very pleased with the plugs. They fit snug and go in and out easily. I am hoping they will survive the weather, but the bag had plenty, so I can swap some out if not. I was happy with this product and its service.

Very easy to use. You can still cover with concrete filler if you want to try and match your surface color, but in my experience you can never hide the holes anyway. And this will make it easy in 10 yrs when treatment is due again.

These work perfectly for 1/2 inch holes. I used a large punch and hammer to get them into place.

These were easy to tap in homes made for Taurus SC. It seals the hole, but leaves it accessible for future treatment.

These plugs work. I had bought some plugs off of Amazon and a couple of days after installing them I noticed that a lot of them were cracking and falling apart. I ordered the trabor plugs from do my own and installed them where the others had cracked. It's been a couple of weeks now and the plugs are fine, no signs of cracking. I should have ordered these when I ordered my termite treatment

Worked Perfectly. Just drill out the existing plugs with a 3/8" Drill and tap these in. Use a tiny bit of glue. They are not expensive so buy the 250 bag.

Simple to use, great quality. I would definitely recommend them. I used these in concrete - after drilling 1/2" holes with a Hammer Drill and filling the termite resort under my garage with about 2 gallons of Termidor and water. The plug ends fit the hole and then won't go in much more until you tap them with a hammer. Once they are in, they are nice and snug. I tapped them in a bit more and then smoothed over the hole with some concrete epoxy. Perfect!

I like them. They look much nicer to me then other patch stuff like calk/cement etc.. I have foud other termite services won't touch them or drill into them as they state they will plug the hole. I've told them they drill out to no avail so I just take care of removing and replacing them myself.

I have carpenter bee holes by the hundreds and could not find the small corks I used in the past to plug the hole after I put the powder in to kill them. They must be used in construction for something else but they do not fit into the holes at all. If someone locates the small corks they work great. I returned them and they issued credit without any problems.

We had pest control years ago drill for termites. We are doing it ourselves this year. Termites are back! We bought these to use in the previous drilled holes. We didn't measure the hole first. That is a must, they still work not as tight a fit. Drilled holes in other sections around the home with 1/2 in bit, perfect and snug. This will make our work in a few years easy. Not that I want termites again...this will all be worth it in the end for prevention.

It sure beats how the "professional termite companies" patch the holes with concrete smears! Easy to use, makes for a very neat job.

The plugs were exactly what I needed.....my only concern was the cost for 50 plugs that sure cost pennies to manufacture.

Was this review helpful to you?  YesNo

I really have not had a chance to use these yet. I did open the package and they seem very sturdy and to be of good quality. I purchased the pail of 250 x 1/2 inch plugs because I needed 150 plugs and the price for the pail of 250 for $24.99 vs. buying a 3 packages of 50 for $9.99 each was the best option. I'm glad I have extra in case I miscalculated the number of plugs I will be needing. The price is very reasonable and I was so happy to see that they offer free shipping. Shipping was very fast dispite that they are in Georgia and I'm in California. I am very pleased with this company and will continue to order from them as needed.
