Outsmarting the Beetle
Our trap mimics the dark cracks beetles love, leading them straight into a one-way trip to the oil reservoir.
A Simple Process for Serious Protection
Fill Reservoirs
Pour a small amount of vegetable oil or mineral oil into the two side chambers.
Add Your Bait
Place a bit of pollen or fruit in the center compartment and snap the small lid shut.
Position on Frame
Hang the trap on the top of a hive frame where beetle activity is highest.
Natural Attraction
The recessed design and barrier walls create a 'pocket' that beetles naturally crawl into.
The Capture
Beetles fall through the top slots into the oil, while the bait remains out of their reach.
Quick Clean Up
Use your hive tool to lift the trap, empty the contents, and wash for reuse.
Proven effectiveness in hives across the country.
