RESCUE! Carpenter Bee TrapStik glue traps — 2-pack with VisiLure visual lure, weather-resistant & odorless

RESCUE! Carpenter Bee TrapStik is a glue-based hanging trap that attracts and captures carpenter bees, wasps, and mud daubers using color and pattern cues—no sprays or poisons required.

Carpenter bees bore into wood to nest and can damage siding, decks, fences, and trim. The TrapStik uses a visual lure called VisiLure—multi-dimensional colors and patterns printed beneath a sticky surface—to draw targeted insects in. Once they land, they become trapped on the adhesive and are removed from the area. The product arrives as a two-pack and is designed to be weather-resistant, odorless, and easy to hang near problem spots.

How does this trap attract carpenter bees and other wasps?

The TrapStik relies on visual stimulation rather than chemical attractants. VisiLure prints beneath the adhesive mimic colors and patterns that appeal to flying wood-nesting insects, prompting them to land on the trap surface. No scent or toxic bait is released, so it’s a visual lure that reduces risks associated with aerosols or chemical sprays.

• VisiLure printed pattern under the glue encourages landings.
• Sticky surface secures insects after they touch down.
• Works on carpenter bees, wasps, red wasps, and mud daubers.

Where should I place the TrapStik for best results?

Hang the TrapStik close to known activity: eaves, porch ceilings, near wooden railings, or other structures where bees bore holes. Position it a few feet from the structure to intercept insects before they reach wood, and place in shaded or semi-shaded spots to keep the adhesive effective longer.

• Mount near entry points where boring is visible.
• Hang 2–6 feet from the structure to intercept traffic.
• Choose sheltered, shaded locations to preserve tackiness.

Will it harm beneficial insects or pets?

The TrapStik’s glue surface can catch non-target flying insects if placed carelessly, but its design includes glue guards that form a protective rim to minimize accidental captures. Keep traps out of reach of pets and away from pollinator-rich flower beds to reduce unintended impacts.

• Glue Guards reduce chances of non-insect catches.
• Hang away from flowering plants and pollinator paths.
• Place out of reach of children and household pets.

How long does each trap last and how do I dispose of it?

Longevity varies with weather and insect pressure; in protected locations a single TrapStik can remain effective for weeks. Replace when the adhesive surface becomes full of insects or loses tack. Dispose of the used trap in household trash according to local regulations.

• Effective from spring through fall, subject to conditions.
• Replace when adhesive is clogged or weathered.
• Simple disposal: seal and discard in regular waste.

Who is this product for? Homeowners and property stewards who want a non-chemical, easy-to-deploy option to reduce carpenter bee and mud dauber damage will find the TrapStik useful. It’s suited for people who prefer visual, odor-free control methods to protect wood trim, decking, fences, porches, and outdoor structures without sprays or aerosols. Ideal for seasonal use around houses, cottages, barns, and other wooden buildings where wood-boring insects are active.
