Our carpenter bee hole plugs offer a quick, easy, and sustainable solution to plugging existing carpenter bee nests. With two different sizes specifically designed to fit flush inside standard carpenter bee holes, our Hand Dipped Wooden Corks help keep carpenter bees from moving back in and cutting off the life cycle by preventing young bees from getting out.
Why We Love It:
·Quick and Easy Solution: All you need is a pack of our wooden corks for a hassle-free solution to plugging existing carpenter bee nests.
·Flush Fit: The two sizes of corks are designed to fit standard carpenter bee holes, ensuring a secure fit.
·Rubberized Exterior: The rubberized exterior prevents carpenter bees from boring through, effectively blocking the entrance.
·Complete Pack: With 8 corks in total—4 large and 4 small—you have enough to cover multiple holes.
How to Use Them:
·Identify Your Carpenter Bee Nest: Locate the entrance of your carpenter bee nest.
·Insert a Wooden Cork: Place a wooden cork into the entrance, placing the rubberized end into each hole.
·Blocking the Entryway: Blocking the entryway with a rubberized surface will create a barrier that carpenter bees can’t chew through.
·Push the Cork: Continue pushing the cork into the hole until the outer end of the cork is flush with the exterior wooden surface, or as near to flush as possible.
·Complete the Process: Once the cork is snug inside, continue pushing the cork into the hole until the outer end is flush with the exterior wooden surface.
Getting the Most Out of Your Hand Dipped Wooden Corks:
·Timing: Carpenter bees are seasonal creatures that hibernate or die off in the winter, depending on whether they can find a nest. Typically, the hunt for a new nest begins around the beginning of spring.
·Early Use: To truly get the most out of your hand dipped wooden corks, it’s important to use them before the bees are out in full swing. Waiting until the beginning of spring ensures minimal contact with any aggressive carpenter bee males or the stinging females.
·Nocturnal Activity: Carpenter bees are much less active at night, so in this instance, we recommend waiting until sunset before attempting to repair any carpenter bee holes.
·Carpenter Bee Repellent: If time isn’t on your side and you’ve only noticed the nest because of existing carpenter bee activity, we recommend using our carpenter bee repellent citrus spray (carpenter bees hate citrus) to remove any stragglers inside. Wait about 4-5 minutes to ensure the bees are gone before plugging any holes.
Keep your carpenter bee nests secure and your property safe with our Hand Dipped Wooden Corks!
