How to Use Your Kit:

Using the Total Bee-Fense Gift Box to remove carpenter bees is a great way to handle existing nest issues and prevent future problems. Once you’ve identified the nests, we’ll break down how you can rid your home of existing carpenter bee nests in just four simple steps while directing them toward your new Best Bee Brothers carpenter bee traps.

Step 1: Use Your Total Bee-Fense Kit

  1. Spray the citrus carpenter bee spray 3–4 times into each nest hole. If you notice activity around the nest, we advise waiting until the bees are less active. Holding off until after the sun has gone down is generally a good bet, since carpenter bees are not as active at night.

It’s also worth noting that most of the carpenter bees you do see are males, who are not capable of stinging. However, if provoked thoroughly enough, males will become aggressive in dive-bombing you, and in extreme cases, the female will emerge from the nest, and she can sting you.

  1. Wait 4–5 minutes to observe whether any carpenter bees emerge. If you’re confident the nest is empty, proceed to step C.

  1. Insert and twist the Bee-Destroyer Stake into each hole several times, as far as it will reach, in a reaming motion. This will destroy any existing pollen plugs, which is where carpenter bee larvae can be found.

  1. Finally, after you’ve cleared the nest out, it’s time to seal it up. Insert a Hand Dipped Wooden Cork, placing the rubberized end into each hole to fill the entrance and create a barrier that carpenter bees can’t chew through. You’ll want to continue pushing the bee plug into the hole until the outer end of the cork is flush with the exterior wooden surface, or as near to flush as possible. Stain or paint to match the existing exterior finish.

Step 2: Add the BEE-Licous Bee Bait to Your Trap

Making use of your carpenter bee trap bait could not be easier. Apply a dime-sized amount of BEE-Licious Bee Bait to the collection chamber of your trap (where the dead carpenter bees are stored). That’s it! No need to rub it in or get any goop on your hands.

We’re really proud of all the science that’s gone into developing our proprietary BEE-Licious Bee Bait formula – and we’re even more proud of the results our customers have shared with us! But this product is meant to work in conjunction with your existing carpenter bee trap. That is, if your trap isn’t hung in a suitable location, no amount of bee attractant is going to help.

Step 3: Hang Your Best Carpenter Bee Trap

Our field-testing has proven that our carpenter bee box traps are simply more effective when hung up high in areas that receive plenty of sunlight. That’s why eaves and roof overhangs make great places to hang Best Bee Brothers traps. If you’re using both traps at once, we recommend about 15 ft. between them.

Each best carpenter bee trap includes everything you’ll need for installation: a hook, a washer, and a 9 ft. pull string to quickly and efficiently empty the spring-loaded release door. No assembly required means the install is quick and easy – just screw the mason jars into place (with your BEE-Licious Bee Bait inside), hang it up high, and let the trap do the rest.

When the Best Carpenter Bee Trap is not in use, preserve it for future seasons by storing it in a shed or garage throughout the winter months.

Step 4: Apply Citrus Spray

Point, aim and shoot – simple, right? Getting the most out of your citrus carpenter bee spray doesn’t have to be overly complicated. Reapplying a generous coat to your outdoor furniture, railings or other wooden surfaces every few days during carpenter bee season will offer the maximum amount of protection, with one exception. While it is tempting to want to combine your carpenter bee traps and your new citrus spray, please do not! We repeat: DO NOT APPLY your citrus spray to your carpenter bee traps.

Please also note that while our citrus spray consists of only naturally derived ingredients, this product is not intended for direct application on human skin.
