Carpenter Bee Trap Houses, Pesticides, and DIY Quick Fixes Like Citrus Oil and Sticky Traps Aren’t Enough—Here’s Why Blocking Carpenter Bee Holes and Tunnels is the Real Solution
Carpenter bees may seem harmless, but they can silently damage your home’s structure. They bore deep holes and tunnels into wood, weakening it over time. If you’ve tried trap houses or pesticides, you’ve probably noticed they only work to a certain extent. The truth is, these solutions won’t be effective unless you block the holes and tunnels created by the carpenter bees.
Trap houses might catch a few bees, and pesticides can eliminate others, but if you leave the holes and tunnels open, you’re simply inviting future infestations. Even worse, abandoned holes and tunnels become homes for other pests like wasps, hornets, and termites, which only increases the damage.
The only way to truly protect your home is to block the holes and tunnels where carpenter bees have drilled. Without this step, the problem persists—no matter how many traps or chemicals you use.

Sure, the internet is full of homemade solutions. Most involve a block of wood, a jar, and a little hope. But do these traps really work? Not always. Carpenter bees are smart. They often find a way around your trap and keep drilling into your porch, deck, or siding.
While a DIY trap house might catch a few bees and lure them away from nesting in your wood, it doesn’t address the core issue: the holes and tunnels already drilled into your wood. These holes are the real problem, and without blocking them, the infestation isn’t going anywhere.
Even if your house trap works temporarily, it’s not enough. Carpenter bees are persistent—they’ll keep coming back unless you block the holes. And the damage doesn’t end with the bees. Abandoned tunnels become nesting sites for other pests like wasps, hornets, and termites.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, woodpeckers, eager to feast on the larvae inside, magnify the problem by pecking giant holes to get to the larvae.
The hard truth? Trap houses alone won’t fix it. Without blocking the holes, you’re only putting a temporary band-aid on a bigger problem. If you want real protection for your home, the key is to block those holes and prevent future infestations. That’s where the true solution lies.
Some DIY traps use plastic bottles, while others rely on wood blocks with angled holes. These designs might catch a few bees, but they don’t stop the infestation. Bees can tell the difference between a trap and real wood—so even when some get caught, the colony keeps drilling.
The only real solution? Block the existing holes and stop the damage for good.
Most DIY carpenter bee traps are hit-or-miss. These bees have been around for millions of years, and they’re not fooled easily. If you’re not blocking their tunnels, they’ll keep coming back—turning your wood into a long-term nesting site.
A DIY trap might catch some bees, but it won’t stop the infestation. By the time you see the damage, their tunnels are already deep. If you don’t block the entry points, they’ll keep coming—year after year.
Trap houses don’t stop the real problem—the nest. Carpenter bees drill deep tunnels to lay eggs, and if you don’t seal those entry points, new bees hatch, burrow, and repeat the cycle. DIY traps might catch a few, but the infestation keeps spreading.
Carpenter bees don’t just damage your wood—they attract a host of other pests. Woodpeckers are drawn to the larvae inside the tunnels, making things worse. But it doesn’t stop there. Left unchecked, these tunnels become a breeding ground for wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, termites, and even bumblebees.
What starts as a carpenter bee problem quickly spirals into a full-blown pest infestation, leading to continuous destruction of your property.

These traps get to the root of the problem. I bought my kit last year and blocked a ton of holes on my deck. All the holes I blocked with BB PRO are still in place. This product is amazing! I’ve been looking for new holes to block every few days. I enjoy the piece of mind this product provided with it being a green product that does not require sprays or chemicals.
Great blog. I have heard very good things about this product and will order it this season for my whole crew.
