Small Hive Beetle Traps

Small hive beetle traps for Australian beehives
Small hive beetle traps support routine pest monitoring by providing a place to capture beetles inside the hive. This collection includes reusable trap cases, transparent plastic catchers and Beetle Blaster-style traps for different hive-management preferences.
Trap performance depends on correct placement, maintenance and colony conditions. Inspect traps regularly, prevent oil or trap contents from spilling inside the hive and dispose of captured pests responsibly.
Choose a trap that suits your hive
Compare the trap dimensions, installation position, refill requirements and whether the design is reusable. Confirm there is sufficient space between frames or hive components before installation.
Use traps as part of integrated pest management
Traps work best alongside regular inspections, apiary hygiene, strong colony management and suitable equipment maintenance. A trap does not replace pest identification or current professional and biosecurity advice.
Cleaning and maintenance
Check traps during inspections and clean reusable components according to the product instructions. Keep pest-control equipment separate from honey-processing tools and replace damaged traps that can leak or create unsafe gaps.
