Carpenter Bee FAQs
Why is my carpenter bee trap not working?
This is our most asked question. It comes down to location, carpenter bees can be blind to a trap in some areas of your porch/deck. That’s why if your trap hasn’t caught any bees after 1-2 weeks, it should be slightly adjusted several feet until the carpenter bees start being trapped. Carpenter bees are very picky about location.
Why are carpenter bees so bad?
Carpenter bees are bad because of the damage they do to wooden structures. Each spring they burrow into wooden porches/decks weakening the structural integrity and in a way turn it into swiss cheese.

Do I need to fill in existing carpenter bee holes?
Carpenter bees are very territorial by nature so they will be much less likely to go into traps if their existing holes are still open. It’s recommended to plug up the holes with cork or putty. We offer specially sized corks for this.
