Will Cyfluthrin kill carpenter bees?

Any time. BTW - this product is awesome for general pests inside and out. It's especially good for spiders and ticks.

Yes but the better way to take care of carpenter bees is to treat the areas they bees are going into the wood by using a dust. I really like Delta Dust for carpenter bees. It's long lasting, quick acting and is waterproof. Just use a duster to apply the product into the opening they are using. If the bees are just buzzing around and not going into an opening, I doubt that the Cy-Kick will help you and it's likely to affest non-target insects .

This stuff will affect anything that touches it and isn't strong enough to pull free. Yes, if a honey bee lands or walks onto an area where you spread it, they will get stuck and die. However they won't be attracted to it in search of nectar or water. Just don't spread it near the water. I spread tanglefoot around the bases of my bird feeders and birdhouses and every insect that tried to cross it got stuck.

ADD "Precor" to the insecticide mix as labled on the bottle. It will kill the eggs.

I have no answer to the question of how the bees die in the jar. I can only speculate that they expire due to heat or exhaustion. The are not physically able to climb the glass jar or fly straight up back into the trap. There is nothing needed to put into the jar to catch carpenter bees although I have heard through my customers and through personal experience, that if you stun one of the males and put them into the catch jar, it attracts other bees.Tony, Chrisman Mill Farms LLCWood Bee Gone carpenter bee traps

Glen, I used DE for carpenter bees by making a slurry and "painting" the holes and the area around them. When the DE dries, it is effective. The bees die as they emerge the next year. I have NOT used this duster but I am contemplating buying it.

Hi, Ladyfingers! I checked the label and instructions on the bottle I have, and there was no mention whatever about insects harmed by the spray. The most important caution was to keep pets AND people away from the sprayed area until solution has completely dried. I have used this Roundup for about three years on my rock patio, and have never found an injured bird from the many Mockingbirds and hundreds of dove on my property daily. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure if it will actually KILL pollinators, but they certainly don't come near the flowers of plants treated with this product. I've seen bumblebees come toward a flower and immediately back off. Unfortunately, Japanese beetles are not so easily discouraged ... although I must say that they aren't nearly as populous on my rose blooms with this treatment as they are without it!

As a general rule, fungicides, including Daconil, are safe to use around honey bees. Source: Virginia Tech

The short answer is: MAYBE (if the bees come into direct contact with the solution before it dries it could cause some problems). Once it dries, it should not present a problem, unless it happens to be on the pollen bearing parts of the plant flower AND is combined with any kind of insecticide. If that happens, the contact between the bee and that pollen surface will likely cause insecticide transfer to the bee, and, of course, would then be fatal to the bee. Virtually ALL insecticides will result in the same outcome if the bee has such contact. If insect (bee) absorbs the insecticide, directly or indirectly, the result is fatal. However, if ONLY a fungicide is used, then the bees will likely survive such contact. Hope that answers the question

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.

Treat their nests directly with Drione to insure long term control. Use Suspend SC, Cyper WP or Tempo WP on decks, overhangs and fence posts in the Spring to stop further nests from starting. A little prevention will go a long way in reducing the amount of unsightly damage caused by carpenter bees.

I used this for that exact reason and it worked better than advertised. It was sprayed twice at two week intervals and we didn't see another carpenter bee for the rest of the season. I followed up by dusting the holes so the eggs they laid would not hatch. This is a good product.

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.

I did not put anything in the container--instructions did not mention this. However, I have not trapped the FIRST carpenter bee in the trap. It did not work for me and I believe I followed instructions. There have been carpenter bees around my shop for years another product has helped to lessen the amount returning each year but they are still a problem.

Yes, this product will work to kill carpenter ants. For best results, locate and treat nests and surrounding areas. Apply around doors and windows and other places where ants enter premises and where they crawl and hide. Spray into infested wood through existing openings.

Great question. I have found nothing that they could harm bees. They live in the soil and go after grubs and such. I would do my research but I would prefer this to pesticides that I'm certain hurts our bees.

Considering that pesticide is meant to kill all insects on plants there is a high chance it will
