Results not conclusive yet

For established carpenter bees the liquid spray didn't do much. The powder, however, worked well when sprayed into the holes made in wood by the bees. They did come back, however, and thus we found it necessary to put the plastic inserts into the holes as well. To be sure, we also covered the inserts with caulking.

Dust Them Out
By Scott on 06/12/2012
I bought a house that had about 14 different holes where carpenter bees where living. They had made these little holes in the wood under the gutters and I could hear them eating away at the house. I filled up the bulb blower with the dust and went to town. The blower comes with a small tip that you can stuff right down the holes to get the dust down deep. The dust won't kill them instantly so be prepare because you will hear some pissed bees inside the holes. You will see a couple fly around after with the white powder on them. A day or two later and I have only seen one bee flying around but a bunch dead on the ground. I haven't used the spray because is was late June and any new bees where not going to be coming around. I plan on using the spray next year. I will try the plugs on the holes in late September when I know all the baby bees have hatched and walked through the powder and left to die.

Works well!
By James on 06/20/2012
Used on 2 bay garage, only a couple bees seen hovering after using products, seem to not be landing. Not sure how long residual action will be. The product is concentrated, so it seems like it'll go pretty far. The only minor complaints, the plastic plugs for the holes are a bit small, sort of useless. I used some steel wool in the holes for now, since bees can't chew through it. I wish there were more detailed instructions for the duster. I need to kind of shake it to suspend the powder, and squeeze it quickly in the hole to get a decent amount to come out. Otherwise, the products are working well

Carpenter Bee Kit with Cyonara 9.7
By Wrs on 05/19/2014
I have been using the product for three weeks. I have to say, I don't know for sure how effective the product is. After powering the carpenter bee holes two times, the bees were still coming and going. The product may take time or these were new bees. I just don't know. We did power the holes during the peak of the flowering season, which means we had more bees than normal. I have now powered the holes three times, and I am waiting for warm dry weather to see if this works. It would be helpful if the packaging came with additional kit instructions, explaining the purpose of the additional nozzles, getting started, and clean up suggestions.

Another great product!
By Rick on 05/08/2014
Have dealt with carpenter bees for the past several years. Used all the big box stuff with limited success. This kit gives you all you need for immediate results. The duster is a little cumbersome to use but gets the job done. Another great product. Thanks.
