Directions

1. Mix the Avesta CS at 0.5 ounces per gallon of water and spray the areas where carpenter bees are boring or have bored in the past. The goal here is to use a spray pattern that clings to the surface. This will leave a repellent residue on the surface which will discourage the bees from drilling additional holes. Their holes are usually located on the underside of any wood surface including siding, soffits, overhangs, decks, fence posts, fascia boards and window frames. We recommend spraying twice during the spring at intervals of 3-4 weeks. For severe infestations of carpenter bees on cedar and log structures you may need to treat more frequently.
2. Next fill the JT Eaton Hand Bellow Duster about halfway with Tempo 1% Dust and puff it into all accessible carpenter bee holes. Shake the duster vigorously and puff it 2 or 3 times into each hole.
3. For holes too high to reach with the duster by hand, you can place the duster into the Gotcha Sprayer Pro. It can attach to any extendable painter’s pole to increase your reach. Sometimes carpenter bee holes will be behind shutters, trim boards or gutters, etc. Dust or spray the area around their access point, so they have to crawl through some insecticide to get in our out.
4. We know it’s tempting to seal the holes now, but we recommend waiting until the fall. This gives any surviving eggs or adults time to hatch and leave. When sealing the holes, be sure to use a sealant that can be painted over.
