Ultimate Pro Outdoor Carpenter Bee Trap by Best Bee Brothers, Green 1-Pack

I purchased this with pretty low expectations. Every summer I have a swarm of carpenter bees that go to work on the arches of my roof. You'll literally hear them tapping against windows from inside the house. After 2 days I had one bee in the trap. 2 weeks later I had zero bees flying around the exterior of my house and the trap was completely full. I emptied it and left just one bee inside and at the moment it is half full and I have not seen any bees airborne anywhere near the roof all summer. I positioned it in a window corner below the bee activity spot. Best part is I can take it inside in the fall and remount next year.

It was easy to assemble and hang, and worked - caught carpenter bees and wasps too

Updated review. My initial thought was that this is a disappointing purchase since it caught only one bee while the rest were boring holes in surrounding areas a few feet away. I have better luck with a fly swatter. 2 weeks later, I started seeing new residents in the two traps. They really worked! After 3 weeks, the body count was 9. Best part of that I no longer see them when I’m enjoying the outdoor deck and gazebo. Glad to have purchased them. Highly effective solution to a common problem.

Pretty cool little trap. It worked like they said it would. One bee goes in and cannot get out, and after a while there are a bunch of dead bees in the trap. I guess only down side so far is you need many to cover around a house or deck, and they are pretty expensive. I had one up before this order. It has been up for 3 years and seems to be holding up through the elements.

I am thoroughly impressed with this carpenter bee trap! Last year, I spent a lot of money and effort trying out different chemical sprays, but they barely did anything to solve my bee problem. This year, I decided to give this trap a try and bought two of them to hang around the house. The results have been amazing—within just a short period, each trap has already caught 5 to 6 carpenter bees! It’s highly effective, super easy to set up, and a much cleaner solution than spraying chemicals everywhere. If you are dealing with carpenter bees drilling holes into your siding or deck, don't waste your time on sprays—just get these traps. Highly recommended!

Cool design but really doesn’t work well. I used this for a few months and never caught a single of the bees. Too expensive for the small chance you have at catching one. You get conned into buying the bait as well, but it’s all not effective. Save your money.

This works well! I have a cedar sided house and have always delt with carpenter bees. They seem to like my facia board behind the gutters. I waited until early evening, caulked every hole down the West side of my house, and then hung the trap. I added 1 carpenter bee carcass to the trap, and by morning had 5-6 bees captured. It continues to collect bees and they are not bothering to make new holes at this time. I may order more traps to have on one each side of my house.

Worked like a charm. Within 3 days, it took out 10 carpenter bees haunting our patio deck. For some reason, there are 2 bees (the smart ones?) who just will not go in. Thus, 4/5 stars. Still, I am amazed at its efficiency in taking out most of the nest.

Not very good. They eventually find their way out again!! *** I have since received my second order of these bee traps thinking at that time, I would need more to set up at different locations. This second order was placed before trying out the first order. With the second purchase, I noticed The upgraded design has been modified at the entry hole going into the plastic container. They added a plastic circular ring preventing the bees from escaping. The second picture shows the upgraded design compared to the first one I've submitted. Wow! Amazing. I have since been trapping bees non stop! I now have to change this to a 5 star!!

Took care of our carpenter bee problem within a week!

We have 6 bees trapped within a couple of hours of mounting the traps. We hope this success continues as we have been bothered by these carpenter bees for 2 years.

This carpenter bee trap really works. On the first warm day, a few carpenter bees were caught in this trap hanging on my wood shed. I recommend this trap to anyone who has a carpenter bee problem in their yard.
