So, if you want to bait the trap all you need to do is place a dead carpenter bee in the bottom receptacle of the trap. The more dead carpenter bees, the stronger the attractive smell of the trap and the better the trap works. Once dead, it releases a pheromone that will attract more carpenter bees to the nest. The carpenter bee will drop down into the bottom catch tube (or catch tray for the Pine Trap) where it perishes. Now the carpenter bee is truly stuck! Carpenter bees cannot fly directly up, nor can they walk up the plastic components in the trap. Once the carpenter bee enters the trap, the pheromones and sounds of the bees lure more bees away from your home and wooden structures and into the trap. The unfinished softwood exterior and specifically sized entrance holes appeal to a searching carpenter bee. A carpenter bee will approach our carpenter bee trap when they are looking for a new nest.
