How to Trap Carpenter Bees Like a Pro in 2025 | Expert Tips for Effective Control
Carpenter bees aren’t just a nuisance—they can cause serious damage to wooden structures around your home. Unlike honeybees, which help with pollination, carpenter bees burrow into wood, weakening fences, decks, and exteriors. If left unchecked, their tunneling can compromise structural integrity and even attract termites, making repairs costly.
Fortunately, you don’t have to stand by and watch your property suffer. With the right tools and strategies, you can trap carpenter bees effectively in 2025 and prevent further damage. This guide will walk you through expert trapping methods, the best products to use, and why BB PRO® Carpenter Bee Trap and Repellent Kits are the ultimate solution.
Carpenter bees drill round holes, about 1/2 inch in diameter, into untreated or exposed wood to create nests. Over time, these tunnels expand, making your home more vulnerable to decay. Unlike termites, they don’t eat the wood, but their repeated burrowing weakens structures and attracts other pests.
Beyond structural damage, carpenter bees can return year after year to the same spots if not properly managed. That’s why early intervention is key to long-term control.
Trapping carpenter bees is easier than ever with modern solutions like the BB PRO® Carpenter Bee Trap & Repellent Kit. Follow these expert steps:
Check wooden structures for round holes and sawdust-like material. These are signs of carpenter bee activity. Mark these areas so you know where to place your carpenter bee traps and repellent for wood.
Not all traps are effective. The BB PRO® Carpenter Bee Trap & Repellent Kit stands out for its dual-action design:
Proper placement is key:
Regular checks ensure maximum effectiveness. Empty house traps as needed and replace screens in newly discovered holes. BB PRO® screens create a permanent barrier, making it impossible for bees to re-enter once installed.
After trapping the bees, use wood putty or caulking over the screens to fully seal off nests. This prevents new infestations and reinforces your wooden structures against further damage.
BB PRO® isn’t just another bee trap—it’s a dual-action system that traps existing carpenter bees and prevents future infestations. Here’s why it outperforms other options:
