Carpenter Bee Traps

Carpenter Bees are incredible drillers and cause significant damage to wooden buildings by burrowing long deep holes. The bees do not actually eat the wood, but drill tunnels as a place to lay eggs. Their preference is to find an old hole and drill further into the wood each year before laying their eggs. Over time, the continued removal of wood causes significant damage and eventual failure of the wooden support. In the forest, bees find old dead wood to drill into and cause no harm at all. Unfortunately, our homes and barns are a big target for carpenter bees with an unlimited amount of exposed dry wood for nesting.

Creative Woodscapes has found a solution to the problem with the pesky carpenter bees. Our bee traps are handcrafted and made out of #1 selected pine. There are 3 upwardly slanted holes which have been drilled on a 3 sides. The bees go in an entry hole and since the bees prefer to use an existing hole, these traps provide the hole they are seeking. Once inside the box, the bees are attracted to the light from the exit hole and become trapped in the plastic jar. Mounting hard ware is included with the trap.

The traps are $12.00 for one or $10.00 for two or more plus shipping. We take most all major credit cards. To order, we can be reached by e-mail at tonytonz88@att.net or phone at 404-323-4657.
