Abstract
A carpenter bee trap comprises a housing having a hollow interior and at least one solid wall having a hole formed therein to permit carpenter bees to enter the hollow interior of the housing, the hole having about the same size as holes normally made by carpenter bees so that the hole tends to attract such bees. The preferred hole size is in the range from about 5/16 inch to about 1/2 inch. The exterior surface of the solid wall around the hole preferably has a light color, and the walls of housing are preferably opaque so that the hole appears dark from outside the housing. The interior surface of the solid wall forming the interior edge of the hole is preferably substantially flat. The trap may be made of a single piece of molded plastic with molded hinges connecting selected pairs of adjacent walls, and including integral latching means for releasably latching selected pairs of adjacent walls.
