How can I protect my home against carpenter bees?
Carpenter Bees present one of the most common maintenance problems log home owners face. These insects tunnel into log homes to nest which can cause significant damage and headaches. We have found that the following products when used in conjunction with other traditional methods can greatly decrease the problems carpenter bees can cause.
Bug Juice
 Bug Juice is the first ever EPA registered insecticide paint additive designed for interior and exterior use. Bug-Juice kills crawling and flying insects such as carpenter bees and termites on contact. Not only does Bug-Juice not affect the color of the coating, it will also not affect the drying time and process.
Carpenter Bee Chambers
 Once they enter, they never leave. The wood of the Carpenter Bee Chamber has been naturally dipped in a 100% non-toxic solution. There are strategically placed entrance chambers for the carpenter bees to enter. A non-toxic trapping agent within the chambers of the trap has also been added.
