Post by: steveouk on February 14, 2008, 09:29:51 pm

I got the new Dadant Catalog today and i noticed they are now stocking AJ's Small Hive Beetle trap. i was wondering if anyone had used one. I was thinking about get one or two theya re only 5 dollars which is quite cheap really. The seem to fit in between your frames

Keep us updated!  I've been thinking about these as well.
My hives absconded, I think due to SHB.

My new motto:  Never again...

 ;) been using i per hive over this summer here in hot,humid sydney Australia, traps seem to catch quite a few, but I also use the CD case with a little roach bait . It all helps, lost 2 hives previous summer but so far so good this year.

Wonder if a CD case would work with oil of some kind inside them?? That's a great idea ericthebee !!!
