SHB (Small Hive Beetle) Beetle Blaster

Beetle Blaster - 1-Pack Small Hive Beetle (SHB) Trap You typically put 2 traps per brood box, so a total of 4 for 2 brood boxes Compare with the big catalog companies that sell at $3.95 Most instructions will tell you to add vegetable oil to kill the beetles that fall into the trap.  The problem is, you will periodically tilt a box which causes the oil to spill out all over the comb, ruining it.  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you consider Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth.  Fill the trap about 1/4 inch.  When the bugs fall into the trap, this fine powder, which microscopically is very sharp crystals, will get in the joints of the beetles and kill them.   https://shop.beehiveguys.com/products/diatomaceous-earth-food-grade
