I am trying to catxh carpenter bees. Will these traps work?

I have used these traps for years and find them very successful for: 1. flies, 2. wasp, 3. other flying insects but no bumblebees. In fact I have one trap setting directly over our carpenter bees nest and none have ever gone in the trap. I personally use Hornet spray for the bees which kills immediately in hole or out.

Sure caught a lot of wasps and bees. Not sure what type. I have 3 so far and really help around hummingbird feeders.

I have no idea about paper wasps. This trap works well against yellowjackets. Bait with apple cider and a piece of meat. Put a little dish soap in the cider.

They can help deter them, principally because most bees are territorial, and they don't want to hang around where more aggressive wasps might be nesting. :-) No guarantees, but it seems to have helped out. Also we do put up other bee traps in the perimeters of our yard, which do catch a few various kinds of bees (but not nearly as many as before we put up those fake wasp nets). Last year I did see them available also at Ace Hardware stores here in Spokane, WA...

As the Maintenance Manager for my company's Office and warehouse I have used these glue traps, but have not caught any mice in them... mainly bugs and spiders. I did catch a bird in the trap recently!

Are you hanging couple of waspinators near the nests and wait for about 3,4 weeks and let see what happen, I think bees will attack the waspinators... and for a while you won't see them anymore.Good luck to you

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.

Not very effectively. A few that randomly alight upon them will be trapped. If you could dose the traps with CO2 and lactic acid, they would be attracted, but that is impractical.

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking but I can tell you this: it worked! After years of problems with carpenter bees at my mailbox post, this simple thing eliminated the problem!! Don't expect overnight results - but if you are patient, it will slowly but steadily eliminate the bee population.

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

Depends on location and number of bees. I have caught only one in mine but gave one to a friend who has caught hundreds. She has more of a bee problem than I have

Don't know what red wasps are but with the right enticement, don't know why it wouldn't work. I'm sure it depends on where you live and which of these pests you have to deal with. Having been using them for a couple of years and I find they work wonderfully attracting yellow jackets (which is why I bought them), wasps, moths, flies, here in CT; using apple juice or orange juice with TBS of sugar and small pieces of raw meat. Talked my daughter into using them around her pool and she loves them. Highly recommend.

I have not had an opportunity to use it on any of these but I am sure it would work if they alite and stay put long enough for you to run get it. Wasp and bees may come at you if you miss. But that is the same risk you take of you used a swatter.

Without a doubt. During my issues I caught more than 30 of them. They just have to land one foot on it and they are done. This only applies to the larger traps. I can't vouch for the smaller traps sold in bulk packs of 60.

If you mean a standard clay pigeon trap, I would say no. They are much smaller, and more brittle. They would probably shatter on release, and being much smaller and lighter, veer off in any direction. But, I haven't tried them, just speculating.

It will not trap anything...there was nothing on the trap...don't waste your money....:(

This might be because of the type of wasp. These traps work great on the wasps that raid my hummingbird feeder, but wouldn't work at all on paper wasps.

I had about a dozen of them around and within a week of using this trap am now done to one occasional carpenter bee. It works for me.
