CONSUMER ALERT: BB PRO® is the ONLY patented, 304-Stainless Steel bee blocker. Beware of rusting 'soft mesh' counterfeits. [Read the Alert]⚠️ Fraud Alert:
Fake Carpenter Bee Plugs
If you are trying to stop wood damage, you must be aware of fake carpenter bee plugs flooding online marketplaces. These unauthorized ‘soft mesh’ knockoffs use low-grade metals that quickly corrode, fail to stop woodpeckers, and leave permanent brown rust stains running down your fascia boards and outdoor structures. Do not install these in your home.
The Threat: Rusting Clones vs. The Patented Original
❌ “Soft Mesh” Clones: Made of low-grade, corrosive metals that fail under woodpecker pressure and stain your home.
“Do not buy. These are made of cheap wire and started rusting down my white siding after the first rain. Complete garbage.”
— Verified Buyer of a “Soft Mesh” Knockoff
✅ Genuine 304 Stainless Steel: Guaranteed rust-proof and corrosion-resistant.
✅ Precision Engineered: Specifically designed to fit standard carpenter bee holes snugly.
✅ Woodpecker Proof: Hardened metal that birds cannot pull out or hammer through.
✅ Patented System: US Patent D1,004,046 S.
