How It Works
Carpenter bees are naturally attracted to pre-drilled holes in wood, which mimic their preferred nesting sites. This trap uses that instinct against them — bees enter the angled entry holes, travel into the lower jar or collection chamber, and cannot find their way back out. Empty the trap as needed and rehang for continuous use throughout the season.
Where to Hang It
- Under deck railings or eaves

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the Wooden Carpenter Bee Trap work?
A: The trap features angled entry holes drilled into natural wood that mimic carpenter bee nesting sites. Bees enter the holes and fall into a collection chamber below, where they cannot escape. No chemicals or baits are needed — the design exploits the bees' natural nesting instincts.
Q: Where is the best place to hang a carpenter bee trap outdoors?
A: Hang the trap in areas where you've noticed carpenter bee activity — under deck eaves, on fence posts, near garden sheds, pergolas, or along barn walls. Positioning it at the peak of bee activity (typically spring through early summer) yields the best results.
Q: Is this carpenter bee trap safe to use around children and pets?
A: Yes. This trap uses no pesticides, poisons, or chemical attractants. It is a completely chemical-free, mechanical trap, making it a safe option for family homes, gardens, and pet-friendly outdoor spaces.
Q: How do I maintain and empty the wooden bee trap?
A: Simply unscrew or detach the collection chamber (jar/cup) at the bottom of the trap, dispose of the captured bees, and reattach. Clean the trap periodically to keep it functioning effectively throughout the season. The durable wood construction allows for multi-season reuse.
