Project Description

Cutt’s Beetle Blaster (Hive Beetle Trap)

The all natural way to trap the small hive beetle. Simply fill the trap with oil and place it between 2 frames. The beetles go in and can’t get back out. You can change them out as often as necessary, even during a honey flow.

Save the cleanup. This disposable beetle trap is a non-chemical, 2-piece trap, which is placed at the top of the hive super between the frames of honeycomb. Bees chase the small hive beetles (SHB), which like to hide in dark places, into these dark crevasses. Start with one trap per hive and increase if you have a heavy infestation.

9 inches length
1.5 inches wide

Instructions

  1. Fill the trap about  half way with mineral oil and hang it between two top bar frames.
  2. As the bees chase the beetles they try to hide in the trap only to meet their demise.
  3. Once the trap is full of dead hive beetles, remove and throw away.
