The APITHOR Hive Beetle Harbourage Trap is a novel invention designed as a single-use, disposable device that can be easily inserted and removed from standard hives without the need to open or dismantle hives. It is actively sought out by the target pest without the need to include attractants or baits. Some of the key attributes of the device are:

  • Two-piece rigid plastic design
  • A delivery system that takes advantages of the beetle’s behavioural vulnerabilities
  • Tamperproof after assembly (ultrasonic weld or glue)
  • Precise size openings that allow beetles in but exclude bees
  • Protective of C-flute cardboard insert
  • Cardboard insert set back from openings to prevent contact by bees’ mouthparts
  • Black
  • Compatible with silicone adhesives
  • Disposable in household garbage
  • No user access to the insecticide-treated insert
  • Long shelf-life and time-in-service.

Directions for use

  1. With a hive tool, paint scraper or similar implement remove wax and debris from a sufficient area of the bottom board to accommodate the harbourage.
  2. Place harbourage, flat surface down, on the bottom board with the slot ends aligned away from the hive entrance. The harbourage must sit flat on the bottom board such that beetles cannot shelter underneath.
  3. In hives with corrugated or distorted bottom boards apply a thin bead of silicone sealant to the outer edge of the underside of the harbourage and press down firmly onto the bottom board.
  4. Unless stuck to the bottom board a thin wire may be attached to the harbourage to facilitate later removal from the hive via the hive entrance thus removing the need to open the hive.
  5. Monitor harbourages for damage or for ‘waxing up’ of the slot entrances. Replace if damaged or when effectiveness declines.
  6. Remove harbourages when control has been established or after 3 months.
