An easy to make and highly effective trap for the carpenter bee using common hand tools and scrap lumber. Average construction time is 5 minutes per trap. Reposted since I inadvertently deleted the previous one.

It took me probably 30 minutes to make 3 of these traps. Within an hour I had already got one. Thank you so much for making this video. I tried WD40 that I saw on another video but all that did was drive them out of the nest. I had 25 or more of thes things flying around the barn the morning after using WD40

went to home depot and picked up some new bosch speed demon paddle bits. took a 2x4 I had laying around, cut 3 chunks off, drilled them, went to the recycle bin and grabbed 1 water bottle and 2 20oz soda bottles, installed the bottles, found wood screws, headed out to install them now. thank you!!! love easy fast soloutions

Best way I found to keep carpenter bees away from my log home was give them an easy place to nest. I bought a 6-in. x 8-in x 10 ft. pine beam from a sawmill and suspended it between two trees away from my home. The bees went right to it and with minimal determent treatment to my log home I have managed to keep them away. I had to add another beam after two years, pileated woodpeckers about destroyed the beam seeking the bee Larvae.

Best bee trap around. I had to come back and see what size bits he used. Awesome job sir. Only thing i did different was i took a little off the corners for the 1/2 hole goes to make it easier to drill.

Florida here , I have lots of nests in my fence posts, and doing research I came across this video, and I made about 7 of these and within maybe 2 hrs 1 bee was in my trap , awesome video, easy instructions and it works, I saw some other videos where they put water and dish liquid in the bottle to drown them , I have 3 with liquid and 4 without, one without caught the first one.

Wanted to share something I found. Got rid of mine in about 5 minutes for about 3 bucks. They were boring into the white fascia on my utility building. I bought some white duct tape that matches the color of the wood, and just covered the holes. I made a criss-cross X shape over each hole with two pieces of tape. Next day they returned but couldn't find the holes. They left and haven't returned at all. This winter, I will plug the holes properly but this quick fix worked great for now.

where I live in the mountains of nc we have big problems with the bees. my carport was being eaten but worse, my neighbors two out building were really being weakened by them. the way I've been making traps is very labor intensive compared to yours. I was building boxes. I like your idea much more and will make a few to see just how well they work. I was selling mine at a flea market and they were selling well it's just I don't think I was making out because of the time it took for each box. your design is simple and, from the looks of things, quite effective. thanks marsh rat!

WNY guy here as well, and house we just bought last year was ate up by these things. So, now while having to replace some of the cedar trim, I'm gonna make up a half dozen of these this weekend as well. Saw another video where someone used a 4x4 which might give more entrances, however the spare 2x4 pieces I've got should do the trick just as well. Tip- I'm gonna put an ounce of water and couple drops of termidor or similar in mine just to speed up the killing.

Last spring, I thought they were regular bumble bees, until I saw the holes in my deck. Grr. Made a trap and got the 2 bees that were doing all the work. Plugged up the holes and painted the deck. The next spring, they returned to the same spot, gave the deck a look over,but did not start boring. They do not like paint. I am going to hang a few traps around the property.

Hi Marsh Rat, just saw your video and your traps are great. I think they will work good. I know some people get bent out of shape for killing bees but these things are destructive. I use Cyper WP www.domyownpestcontrol.com/cyper-wp-p-228.html It seems to really knock them back and keep them from drilling. It will killl the ones that eat the poison but if they sense it they will not land on the exposed wood and just go somewhere else. Which is what I want. Thought I would share :)

I have built a few traps similar to your simple one, but the prototype I followed from a friend used a 5/8" hole for both holes, with a mayonnaise jar below, and the entrance hole was just drilled horizontally into the end grain, not angled upward. It still seems to work, but now I wonder if it would be more effective with the upward-angled hole. Next trap! Thanks!

Stir a little Dawn in a big plastic soda cup of water than toss it on the nest and they hit the ground dead. The soap makes the water wetter and instantly drowns them. Much cheaper than the expensive sprays. It is not flammable. It won't kill your shrubs. It won't stain. It won't kill you. You can also put the soapy water in a pump sprayer to reach out and get the ones higher up. Don't forget to knock down the nest and crush the larva inside, so they don't hatch. :-)

Killing them in the hole doesn't or trapping bees doesn't solve anything - new bees just make new holes and keep laying their eggs and the offspring will return the following year to repeat the process. Keep in mind that the hole you see is the egress point for a series of chambers the bee created as part of her nursery tunnels. I've been fighting carpenter bees from late April to mid June for the 5 years and just come up with a solution two weeks ago. Fill the existing holes with a product that comes in a tube called Tangle Foot. This will cover their wings with a sticky substance as they exit after laying their eggs. Their offspring will also get a dose of the same sticky substance as they exit after exiting. BUT, to keep new bees from boring new holes spray the wood with 100% cheap white vinegar - insects have a very keen sense of smell and apparently bees don’t like the smell of vinegar. This year I sprayed white vinegar once a day for the past two weeks. a few bees will routinely return to my front porch near the wood and fly away. Another issue is that if the bee problem isn’t solved and if woodpeckers realize that there’s a feast of larvae in the holes they converge on the structure and do even more damage - this happened to one of my neighbors a few years back.
