Reusable Bug Jail Trap
The Sustainable Defense for Your Colony
Small Hive Beetles (SHB) are the silent threat to every apiary, capable of "sliming" your honey crop in a matter of days. Our Heavy-Duty Reusable Beetle Jail Trap is the front-line defense you need to keep your colony clean and your honey safe.
Engineered for durability and high-catch rates, this trap offers a permanent, eco-friendly alternative to flimsy disposable options. It’s the perfect companion to our [Precision Pest Trap Oil Pump].
Key Features
-
Crystal Clear Monitoring: The transparent, medical-grade plastic allows you to check oil levels and monitor "kill counts" at a glance without having to pull the trap out or disturb the bees.
-
Dual-Action Compartments: Features two outer reservoirs for oil and a dedicated central bait compartment. This allows you to use a liquid attractant (like apple cider vinegar) in the center to lure beetles directly into the oil traps on either side.
-
Bee-Safe Precision Slots: The entry slots are meticulously gauged to be wide enough for Small Hive Beetles to crawl through, but narrow enough to keep even the smallest worker bees safely on the outside.
-
Indestructible Reusability: Crafted from UV-resistant, high-impact polypropylene. These traps won’t crack under the pressure of a propolis-heavy hive. Simply empty, rinse with warm soapy water, and redeploy.
-
Secure Frame-Hanging Design: Integrated "wing" hooks allow the trap to sit flush between any two standard Langstroth frames. The low-profile design ensures it doesn't interfere with hive lids or inner covers.
The Better Way to Manage Pests

Pro Tip: To maximize your success, place two traps in the top super of your hive—one in the front-left corner and one in the back-right. Small Hive Beetles naturally head to the top corners of the hive to hide from the bees, leading them straight into your traps.
