Paint the wood. They only go for raw wood surfaces. Then get a can of carpenter bee spray from your big box store, stick the tube up in the hole and foam it up. When it drys then get a tube of some kine of caulk and squirt it in the hole to seal it off.
When you paint treated wood it take something like Kills for it to stick to the wood and the green crap not to bleed through. Ask the paint dept at your big box what to use to paint treated wood. You can purchase insecticide paint additives. Basically permethrin formulated to mix well with paint.

ol dad, I like your trap, will be making some.
For by grace are you saved by faith, and not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.

You can look up designs on the web Page. The ones I will be building are designed slightly different than the one ol dad has. My wife has a good collection of peanut jars with the labels cleaned off that I will be using for the bottom part.
Eh...wot?
