Customer Reviews for Carpenter Bee Control Kit

This kit has all you need to address a Carpenter Bee problem. You could spend a lot of time buying individual components. This is a one stop purchase at a very reasonable price. I will buy from DoMyOwn again.

Excellent service; outstanding products; prompt delivery; questions answered fully, courteously. Wasps/hornets under deck nests as well as underground ones completely gone! Highly recommend. NH Resident

This stuff really works. We have bought it many times over the last few years and it kills the carpenter bees quickly. We just bought a new house with a big barn and the bees are eating at it like it is a piece of cheese. After using this product again we have reduced the bee population down significantly..... will buy over and over, great stuff and not expensive.

I tried my own approach which included big box store flying insect spray and then plugging the hole. Big Mistake! They drilled new holes to same nest by the next day. Used the carpenter bee control kit and no more activity. I am setting a reminder on my phone to apply again next spring before the bees become active around my cedar pavilion.

I am very pleased with this kit. I have a log cabin and the carpenter bees left holes on my porch. I tried wood putty, and they knocked it out. Being able to use the insecticide was a game changer. Then the dust and plugs really was easy to use. Very happy I found this kit.

I had a huge carpenter bee problem. I paid a renowned exterminator company to rid my home of them. I paid $275.00 and it took him 5 minutes. The problem also existed in my outbuildings. I wasn't going to pay that again so I researched and found out that I could buy the same chemicals from Do-My-Own. I saved a bundle and it worked great, unlike the junk I bought at the big box store.

I purchased the carpenter bee kit to address a chronic infestation of carpenter bees on a single board on my deck cover. The product works, within 24 hrs most bees were deceased, 2 days later another application of the dust and there are no more bees. I had been plagued with bees every year since I built my deck roof...no they are gone!

I received the kit promptly. It also seems to be working. I was very disappointed when I opened the box and everything in it had pesticide dust on it from the bottle of powder that was in the package. The cap was loose and dust was escaping. Not sure if I will order anything else. If I do and that happens again then that will be the last time.

The entire kit works well together. It’s an all in one kit that is needed to get rid of carpenter bees. I bought a mask to wear when using the duster because the product lingers in the air when dusting the holes. Good kit!

I had an issue every year with carpenter bees burrowing holes in our wooden deck. Tried the wooden boxes that would trap them but never seemed to workout very well. After spraying areas on the deck, then use the powder and plug the holes they stopped coming. It has been about a month and no signs of bees or holes. When I see one they quickly leave and move on. Perfect!

I live in a log house, and carpenter bees have been a huge problem since building the house. This kit seems to be working well. I used the dust, and the spray as directed and I’m seeing dead bees, and none are buzzing around. Best product I’ve found since building the house in 09 to control the bees.

Had issues with Carpenter Bees and decided to try the control kit. After following the directions the bees stopped coming around. When I noticed a bee starting to land in areas from previous visits they would quickly fly away. It has been well over a month since the first application and I haven't see any carpenter bees. Perfect!

The only problem I had with the kit was the duster. It has a straight metal tube that is restrictive in what locations you can treat with it. In the carpenter bee situation we have, it is on the rear deck of our house. The bees were creating their holes underneath the solid panels that are a half wall of sorts on the deck. It was impossible to get the tube into a sprayable angle. I wish the kit came with a 12" flexible hose that could be attached to the straight metal tube end. I did this myself, so that I had the flex in the tubing that allowed me to bend it into the holes. This was about a week ago and it has reduced the hovering bees in the area from 5 or 6, to only 1. I still have to insert the plastic plugs and spray the liquid solution. Also want to line the bottom panel with 2.5" metal/foil HVAC tape to hopefully deter future bee drilling.

The dust and bulb works great. I have not tried the liquid insecticide. The plugs are too large for the bed holes

Carpenter bees are all gone! I plugged all of the holes and they've moved on!

I have sprayed and dusted once so far and it didn't even faze them. It killed maybe 5 that I saw. I have more now than I did before I sprayed. It says to spray again in 2 weeks. It also says not to plug the holes until they are dead because they will just burrow another way out. Not sure if I did something wrong. I mixed the spray like it says and sprayed every surface and hole. Then dusted every hole. I will update my review after the second application

I'll never shop anywhere else for pest control! Never let me down, not once!

The dust did kill two bees that decided to take up residence in two different areas under a wood deck. The carpeted Bee traps have not attracted any intruders in three weeks time, not even one.

We had finished installing a new deck ceiling last year. Added the bee additive to the stain. We noticed one small hole and saw the bee going on and the dust coming out. We ordered your product, followed the directions and then filled the hole back in with wire mesh and filler. Restrained and have had no more issues. Thank you for providing your product!

I own & maintain a log home. Purchased the carpenter bee control kit which, arrived quickly but the duster had a broken safety cap on the tip. I reported the issue to Do My own and they kindly had the duster MFG company ship me a replacement which arrived in a few days, awesome. I dusted two bee holes with the Delta Dust and a few days later saw the female bee grooming its entry, laughing at me... This time I gave the duster a few good extra squeezes into the holes and only 3 hours later two bees were lying on the deck floor, not laughing anymore! The included bee hole plugs sealed the deal perfectly and now I feel in control, awesome "KIT" even though I have not used the liquid concentrate yet! Highly recommend- Thanks DMO!!

The YouTube I watched with this product in mind did the trick! The plugs were too small...but, I used a wood filler! I definitely would recommend!

So happy I bought this , I was being harassed constantly by these bees, 5 days of daily treatments in visible holes in wood then plugged up the holes when no more activity was seen , No more carpenter bees !!!! Very happy

Everything has worked well so far. I don't mean that as a negative, just saying, since I've used the product I have seen 1-2 bees total and they are no longer hanging around. Hopefully stays this way. And no real reason to think it won't. Definitely glad I made the purchase.
