One pack,
every hole plugged.
Donaldson Farms is a small family business that has been making plant-based and sustainable pest solutions since 2016. Corks finish the job repellent sprays cannot: closing the holes that are already there.
Carpenter Bee Corks, 100 pack
Sustainably sourced cork plugs sized to fit carpenter bee holes, no sprays or chemicals needed.
Carpenter Bee Repellent, 8oz
For the wood that has not been drilled yet: a citrus and peppermint spray that wards carpenter bees off before they start.
What it is,
and what it is not.
Sustainable cork, sized to fit. Not a spray, not a chemical: a physical fix for the damage already done.
What plugging
a deck looks like.
Carpenter bees are territorial, so an open hole invites them back. Closing it is most of the fix.
You walk the deck or porch
Carpenter bee holes are round, about the size of a pencil, usually on the underside of rails or eaves.
You press a cork into each hole
Each cork is sized to fit snugly, sealing the hole and repairing the look of the wood.
You treat the surrounding wood
Since bees are territorial, plugging holes while also spraying repellent gives the best odds against new ones.
You inspect for new holes
A quick spring check catches new holes before they spread across the structure.
Next to wood filler
or caulk.
General-purpose fillers were not sized for this job. A cork sized to the hole is a cleaner, faster fix.

General comparison against generic wood-repair fillers used for carpenter bee holes.
The people who
reach for this.
Four situations show up again and again with carpenter bee damage.
Already has holes
Carpenter bees already drilled in, and you want the damage closed up, not just future bees repelled.
Selling or staging a home
You want the deck or porch looking intact for a showing or inspection.
Prefers no chemicals
You want a physical fix instead of another spray around the house.
Pairs with repellent
You are using Carpenter Bee Repellent and need corks to finish the job on existing holes.
Questions people actually ask
Do I really need to fill in existing holes?
Yes. Carpenter bees are very territorial, so they are much less likely to go into traps or stay away if their existing holes are still open. Plugging with cork is recommended.
What size holes do these fit?
The corks are specially sized to fit snugly into the holes carpenter bees typically drill, about the size of a pencil.
Is cork a good long-term fix?
Yes, cork is a durable, sustainable material that fixes the damage and helps preserve the integrity and lifespan of your deck or porch.
Should I use this with a repellent spray too?
Pairing corks with Carpenter Bee Repellent Spray covers both problems: closing existing holes and discouraging new ones.
