GRTRE Carpenter Bee Traps and Bee Butter 2-Pack — Sticky Outdoor Wood Bee Control, Non‑Scented Long‑Lasting

GRTRE Carpenter Bee Traps with Brain's Bee Butter are a two-piece outdoor solution that attracts and captures carpenter bees and other wood-infesting insects using a sticky, long-lasting formulation.

If you have carpenter bee holes in porch beams, eaves, decks or other wooden structures, this dual-pack combines easy-to-install sticky traps with a squeezable bee butter designed to be used directly in active nesting holes. The system is formulated to be non-staining and non-scented so it can be placed on exterior woodwork without leaving visible residue or noticeable odors. Use the traps to intercept flying bees and apply the bee butter into existing galleries to reduce reinfestation for an extended period.

How do these traps and bee butter work together?

The traps lure carpenter bees toward the sticky panels where they become stuck and are unable to escape. For holes already drilled into wood, the bee butter is squeezed into the galleries to coat the interior and deter re-use. Together they address both flying adults and established nest sites.

• Sticky panels intercept foraging and returning bees.
• Bee butter is applied directly into active nesting holes, not on the trap.
• Combines capture with site treatment to reduce repeat activity.

How long does the effect last and how often should I reapply?

The bee butter formula is designed to remain effective for more than a year when applied inside an active nesting hole. Traps should be checked regularly; replace or refresh sticky surfaces as needed if they become full or weathered. For ongoing prevention, inspect wooden structures each season and treat new holes promptly.

• Bee butter effectiveness: over 1 year in treated holes.
• Regularly inspect traps and replace when filled or damaged.
• Treat new holes as they appear to prevent new nests.

Is the formula safe for use around homes and outdoor living spaces?

This non-staining, non-scented formula is intended for exterior and indoor use on wood without leaving odor or visible color. Apply the product only as directed — in active nesting holes — and avoid placing the bee butter on trap surfaces. Follow local guidelines for disposing of captured insects and spent traps.

• No added fragrance or visible residue after application.
• Use on decks, eaves, beams and other wooden surfaces.
• Apply carefully to avoid contact with non-target surfaces.

How do I install the traps and apply the bee butter correctly?

Mount the traps near wood where carpenter bee activity is visible, ideally 5–10 feet from active holes and in sunny areas where bees fly. Squeeze the bee butter directly into the interior of active nesting holes in your wood — do not put the butter on the trap itself. Keep traps level and sheltered from heavy rain for best performance.

• Place traps in sunny, bee-active locations near infested wood.
• Squeeze bee butter into active holes only; avoid trap surfaces.
• Secure traps to beams or posts and check periodically.

Who is this for? Homeowners, property managers and woodworkers who want a practical, low-visibility way to manage carpenter bee activity will find this GRTRE two-pack useful. It’s suited for people who prefer a targeted approach—treating existing nest holes while intercepting flying bees—without adding scents or visible stains to outdoor living areas. For full effectiveness, combine timely inspections, proper placement and careful application following all product instructions.
