    Pleased.

    Having an outlet for this type of product that is trusted is very good. I can DIY and save money with great results.

    It Really Works!

    By Bob on 05/04/2022

    We have been bothered by swarms of carpenter bees on our deck and around the screened porch. We used the recommended kit from Do My Own. It was much easier than I expected and the bees are essentially gone. We see only 2 or 3 at a time but they don't light on the wood. Now I can enjoy pretty cushions on the porch swing and don't have to dodge bees! Thanks, Do My Own!

    I followed the online resources and recommendations on the DoMyOwn website, followed the directions and haven't seen any more carpenter bees. Thank you!

    it's a miracle

    By Kathy on 04/28/2023

    I was at my wit's end with carpenter bees, having tried everything else I could find. There were hundreds of them just gnawing away on my house. I bought this kit hoping for, but not really expecting much success. I sprayed the wood just at dusk, like the instructions said, and was thrilled at how many bees died soon from just that. Next morning early, I was up on a ladder puffing the powder into all the holes. That took awhile, but it really worked well. By the end of the day, I saw only about 10 bees. Next morning, several of those were dead. A week later, I puffed powder into a few holes I'd missed and haven't seen a live been since! It's been about 2 weeks now, bee-free.

    No fly zone established! Good bye carpenter bees

    By Scott on 06/09/2023

    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.

    Carpenter Bee Control Kit

    By Debra on 06/09/2023

    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.

    Fixed!

    By Brian on 06/16/2023

    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.

    Carpenter Bee Control Kit

    By Gerald on 03/15/2024

    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.

    Works

    By Dan on 06/24/2023

    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!

    Great product that you can use yourself

    By Brian on 07/20/2023

    I watched as the exterminator treated my house for carpenter bees. It looked simple then charged me $275. I was floored. He didn't even have a ladder...he had to borrow mine. Steamed? You bet I was! You could have lit a cigarette off my forehead I was so hot! I started searching and found the same stuff the exterminator was using available on line. I still had a big bee problem in my barn but I wasn't going to fork over any more money to those fools so I bought the recommended carpenter bee kit and did the work myself and ridded myself of carpenter bees. Great stuff. Do it yourself! It's easy and you will save a bundle.

    Carpenter Bee Issue

    By Linda on 05/15/2020

    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!

    Carpenter Bees gone!

    By Maryann on 06/01/2018

    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!

    Carpenter Bee kit

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

    Carpenter Bee control

    By Rene on 03/29/2020

    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

    Carpenter Control Kit

    By John on 05/08/2020

    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.

    Take care of C-Bees

    By John on 06/30/2020

    Follow the directions and use the spray over the affected area. We had facia boards riddled w/ holes and 1st sprayed them well, let it dry for over 6 hours and then dusted liberally w/ the powder. Fill the bulb jar half way with powder & kept it angled down and into the holes. It was hard to tell at first if things were working but the next morning many bees were on the ground dead or dying. It did not see bees re-entering the fascia boards w/ the holes anymore. I will wait 2 weeks to get a good die-off & then fill the holes. Happy w/ the product and the kit.

    Carpenter Bee Control Kit

    By Bob on 05/29/2020

    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.

    Works great so far

    By Dave on 06/19/2020

    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.

    Haven't used it yet.

    By Thomas on 06/26/2020

    Haven't used it yet as we had an exterminator come out before we got the kit, so will be keeping the kit for next year to use and we won't have to resort to an exterminator. Glad we found the resources that we need with this kit.
