Abstract

See full text

A trap device for a carpenter bee. A first lure comprises an entry hole defined through an enclosure. A second lure comprises a tunnel extending from the entry hole into the interior. A third lure comprises a means for allowing natural sunlight to penetrate into the interior such that a bee passing into the tunnel is lured towards the exit. A tray is situated within the interior past the exit, the tray containing a sticky substance such that the bee is immobilized upon traveling into the interior. An optional bait lure is utilized consisting of either female bee pheromone or a fragrance. Therefore, a bee, attracted to the natural wood of the enclosure and entry hole, enters the tunnel, turns by natural instinct to follow the path of two chambers and makes contact with the sticky pad to become immobilized.
