Will this work for carpenter bees?

I don't know carpenter bees but looking at what I've captured on the plastic container, there are no large insects. But maybe others have a different experience.

I use tanglefoot to control ants going up and down the trunk of my container lemon tree. The ants go up the trunk and bring their aphids and scale farms along with them. Tanglefoot is spread on a collar that goes around the base of the trunk, the ants get stuck, and consequently the aphids and scale is controlled. If the carpenter bees would have to walk through, or have another type of contact with the Tanglefoot to get to the plant they are affecting it will work. That said I can't figure out how you would accomplish that. Do they walk on your plant?

I bought it for yellow jackets and I can tell you it did NOT work at all. I was using the store bought peel and stick cardboard strips and they were working perfectly, although getting very pricey. I applied to this stuff to both the entrance and surrounding area as well as making my own sticky cardboard traps and hanging it up. This stuff did not work. Caught a lot of ants and really tiny mites, but that was it. I image the most it would do to carpenter bees is minorly annoy them.

Hi KM., I wish I could help you, however I have no experience with carpenter bees.

This product will work with any thing it comes in contact with. As long as you apply it to the area that the bees or any other insect is using.

I really don't know. I think it might because I did not have any more trouble with wasps, yellw jackets or hornets. I don't have carpenter bees.

I am guessing you do not really mean honey bees and such. You probably mean like hornets and wasps and such. I am not sure. I did find one dead below mine so if it ventures in, it will get zapped. I guess the answer depends on what you want it to do to the stinging insects. To keep them from making nests all outside your house, well, it is not so expensive that I think you could try it. It will kill them if they fly in, I just don't know if it will attract them or not. It attracts the most insects at night, and some during the day.

Works great for birds, but I doubt it will work for wasps, try a cheese cloth type of fabric.

I did not for the carpenter bees. But for yellow jackets, etc. I say yes you should.

I did not use anything since I wanted to get rid of carpenter bees. Works great for that.

Sorry it took so long to answer back. I've used only on carpenter ant and wasps!! It works great on those two.

Dear Gregory, Thank you for writing. Mason bees nest in existing holes, and they don't damage wood the way carpenter bees do. Our Mason Bee House is designed specifically to attract Mason Bees, so we would not recommend it for your purposes. We appreciate your interest, nonetheless! Thanks for making Gardener's Supply your source for gardening products and information. Please let us know if we can help you with anything else. Sincerely, Darcy Customer Service

Not sure about the how or why but I can promise you that it works. I did put one dead bee in the jar thinking it would attract more.

Yes, this product will work to kill carpenter ants. For best results, locate and treat nests and surrounding areas. Apply around doors and windows and other places where ants enter premises and where they crawl and hide. Spray into infested wood through existing openings.

Yes it works fine on the Alien Bees.I have multiple AB lights and works on all of them. Great dish by the way.

There are specific insecticides for Carpenter bees such as Dione Dust to name one, however Bifen I/T includes bees, wasps, and termites in their list of control uses, but if you are going after one particular bug, it is more the manner and technique of the application, such as the time of day for best contact on the bugs. As a general insecticide, and if it reaches the carpenter bees where they nest, I believe Bifen will will do the job. This is based upon my own experience with bugs in Florida, but thankfully, we don't have those creatures. Good luck.

Not unless they are ontop of each other. It uses a short burst of vacuumed air from compressing the chamber. One bug at a time and ideally ones which are not moving as the top is small and narrow. You won't be emptying out a bee hive with it.

I don't think so. It isn't made to attract anything. If you follow the suggested instructions for applying it to an object that hangs and swings the yellowflies will think it is an animal and will land on it. I have had great success with this method and have never seen a honey bee on my trap.

No, not with the application method that is involved. It only works with mounds. For sugar ants as well as roaches and any other indoor insects, I use Bengal which works great.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. And it will definitely kill bees. I would suggest you do it either in the evening or very early in the morning.

It will work, but the bee can't be folded while this is attached. We clamp ours to the side rails.

I used this for that exact reason and it worked better than advertised. It was sprayed twice at two week intervals and we didn't see another carpenter bee for the rest of the season. I followed up by dusting the holes so the eggs they laid would not hatch. This is a good product.
