Newer Design Traps Don't Last As Long as They Should I have been using Best Bee traps for several years. The older design holds up much better than the newer design with the bottom you can open to dump out the bees. After a few years the traps start delaminating. The company told me they should last between 2 to 4 years depending on weather conditions, but I have the older model that has been up a long time and they don't delaminate. Plus, I have wood bird houses that have been up for many years and they are fine. It is something in how these particular ones are made.

Carpenter bee boxes These boxes work wonderfully! This is my second purchase. Arrived in a timely manner. Great customer service.

A problem was quickly resolved. There was a problem in that some computer either mine or theirs changed my mailing street address to 05, so the original order was sent back to them. I notified them and they immediately reshipped my order to the correct address. I offered to pay for the cost to re-ship, but they said I did not need to.

Works great! Put the trap up with a little of the bee paste and in minutes we had a carpenter bee in the trap! Within the first week it was almost full. We put it up early (beginning of April) and that has really helped. Hoping for a carpenter bee free summer!

74 carpenter bees captured in <6 weeks!!! The standard Best Bee Brothers carpenter bee traps are an absolute game-changer. After buying our home located in the woods of TN, we were horrified to discover over 4 dozen carpenter bee holes in the eaves of our second story windows. We plugged those holes and repainted over the winter, and then at the beginning of March we hung the Best Bee Brothers carpenter bee traps. Do they work? Heck YES! In 6 weeks, we've captured 74 carpenter bees in the four traps we have, and I've had to empty the traps multiple times. I've seen only two new holes which were quickly plugged and treated. I couldn't be more impressed, and these bee traps are now a permanent fixture on my home.
