I got these late spring/early summer to help control the carpenter bee population that seems to take over our garage every year. After reading other reviews, I made sure to find a carpenter bee to put inside the jar to help draw others in. The trap set out for about two weeks, and I think I had caught only 1-2 more bees. I was close to giving up but gave it a little more time, and after a few more days it was like I had a new bee every single day I checked the trap, sometimes multiple in one day. I recently emptied about 25 bees out of the jar. Very happy with the purchase, these definitely work if they are placed in the right area and you give them a little time!
The second trap (not pictured) I have is hanging on the side of the house near where I have seem other bees. I have only caught a couple in this jar, probably from location along with placing the trap a little later when they weren't as active.

Oh my! These carpenter bees have been our Nemesis for 20 years off and on. We didn't want to spray poison, and was looking for a trap that is easy and can be used over and over. THESE ARE IT! Just put ONE DEAD carpenter bee in each jar and WAIT. IT TOOK ABOUT 2 DAYS TO CATCH ONE. THEN......oh my! They just started going in more and more!
The bees are attracted by the pheromones of the one deceased bee. They enter at an upward angle, and when they go in the only light they see is down. Then they fly into the jar and die soon after! Raw untreated wood, dead bee, and then buzzing of irritated trapped bees make it work better and better!
These will last for a long time and can be used over and over!
They almost ruined our privacy fence, as they've been working on making and drilling more in the 4x4 posts. We could never see the holes because they were between where the post and the fence face each other. This year we had had enough! Thanks to these traps we have, our fence is now becoming unmolested.

This did collect Carpenter bees within 48 hours

Hello, I've had this about a week and it has already collected about a dozen bees. Here are a few things I did that helped the success. #1 killed two Carpenter bees with a tennis racquet and put their bodies through the holes where bees would enter to become trapped. I read that their scent or pheromones would attract other bees. #2 hung it close to where they were already bothering the home #3 the hooks provided witht he product where whimpy, so I bought a bigger hook to screw into the house roof and used a carabiner chip to hang the product off the Gutter. The house smells very strong like fresh wood, I think this must help as well.

I have a major problem with carpenter bees eating my deck. I tried repelling them with citrus oil and almond oil to no avail. I didn’t want to use chemicals so I bought these 2 carpenter bee traps. I’ve had them hanging for a month and have only caught 1 bee. Additionally, the chain that came with the traps broke and I had to modify the setup. I am a bit disappointed.
