Small Hive Beetle Trap with Baitable and Reusable Beetle Jail Oil Trap Design for Trapping Beetles i

Product Description

6 Pack Reusable Clear Small Hive Beetle Traps

EASY TO USE: The clear plastic allows you to check oil levels and how many small hive beetles are caught in the trap. 3 flaps on each trap open and close to allow easy cleaning and refilling of the trap. Each trap has 2 clips to grab onto the top of frames, keeping the trap secure.

HOW IT WORKS: Small slots on the tap of the traps allow beetles in, but keeps bees out. The bees chase the beetles through the slots and into to the oil compartments. As the beetles are coated in oil, they quickly die and are trapped in the oil.

TIPS AND TRICKS: These traps work best when placed in the top and bottom corners of the hive between the frame and box. 2 traps per hive is great for maintenance of beetles, but 4-6 traps per hive are helpful in knocking down a large beetle population. 

BAITABLE TRAP: The center compartment can be baited with simple ingredients to help lure beetles into the trap. Apple cider vinegar and finely chopped banana peel are great beetle baits to increase the chance of catching beetles.

WORKS WITH COMMON OILS: The 2 outer compartments on each trap should be filled halfway with oil. Any cooking oil, mineral oil or liquid oil can be used in the traps. The dead beetles can be strained from the oil and the oil reused, but it is easier to replace with new.

WHEN TO USE THE TRAPS: Traps can be left in the hive year around and oil will keep in traps for several months, but traps should be checked every 2-3weeks. When the oil is full of beetles, it is time to clean and refill. Warm months are the peak season for small hive beetles, so summer is the ideal time to use them.
