The more dead bees, the more attractive the trap will get! This is the same science behind how a carpenter bee finds its way back to the nest each year. As soon as there is one bee in the trap, expect to see many more! The dead bees release a pheromone that is highly attractive to other carpenter bees. What Attracts Carpenter Bees to a Trap? / Do Carpenter Bee Traps Need Bait?Ĭarpenter Bee Traps do not require bait.
Carpenter bees cannot fly directly up nor can they walk up plastic! Thus, once the bees head toward the light they are trapped. Following the light in the trap tricks the bees to travel through a unique funnel system which reduces clogging and prevents carpenter bees from escaping. The funnel accelerates the bee's movement downward into the receptacle below. In our trap, the largest light source comes from the bottom clear funnel. Unfortunately for them, their instinctive exit strategy is to fly towards light. Once they enter the trap, the carpenter bee will soon realize it is not an ideal place to lay their eggs and try to exit.
Bees enter the trap thinking it's a good place to stay.The Best Bee Trap also has a refined finish making it superior in aesthetic appeal to other comparable models offered. The components of the trap are made of durable plastics specifically designed to withstand the weather elements and last you several seasons. The angled property of the holes cuts off the light source for the bee when it enters into the wooden chamber of the trap. The diameter is the same as the diameter of the holes carpenter bees naturally make. The holes drilled into the wooden base are set to a specific diameter and angled upwards. When it comes to carpenter bees looking to build a home, the softer the wood the better. The base of the Best Bee Trap is made of wood, specifically soft composite plywood. Understanding these habits is what makes the trap unprecedented in carpenter bee removal. Carpenter bees have much different habits than those of the bumble bee or honey bee. The carpenter bee trap is effective by employing simple yet brilliant design principles.
