Beetle Trap Aluminum

Tough, Reusable Beetle Control: OZ Armour Beetle Trap Aluminum Silver Bullet

The OZ Armour Beetle Trap Aluminum, also known as the Silver Bullet, is a reusable small hive beetle trap designed to help protect honey bee colonies from unwanted beetle activity. Made from durable aluminium, it provides a simple way to trap small hive beetles without relying on a disposable trap.

The trap is designed to sit between hive frames and can be filled with either cooking oil or diatomaceous earth (DE). Once filled, the slotted lid is closed before the trap is positioned inside the hive.

A Reusable Option for Small Hive Beetle Control

The Silver Bullet provides a dedicated trapping point for small hive beetles inside the hive. Its reusable aluminium construction makes it suitable for beekeepers who want a trap that can be emptied, cleaned and prepared for repeated use as part of their regular hive pest management routine.

Using a reusable trap can also make ongoing beetle monitoring more straightforward during routine hive inspections.

Fill With Oil or Diatomaceous Earth

The trap can be used with cooking oil or diatomaceous earth (DE). The selected material is placed inside the trap before the slotted lid is secured.

This gives beekeepers flexibility in choosing a suitable filling material for their small hive beetle control approach while keeping the trapping material contained within the aluminium housing.

Durable Aluminium Construction

Made from high-quality aluminium, the Silver Bullet is designed for repeated use in the hive. The metal construction provides a sturdy alternative to disposable pest traps and is well suited to regular hive inspections and ongoing colony management.

Its compact design allows the trap to be positioned between the hive frames without requiring a complicated installation process.

Easy to Set Up Between Hive Frames

Using the Beetle Trap Aluminum is straightforward. Fill the trap with cooking oil or diatomaceous earth, close the slotted lid and position it between the hive frames.

The simple setup makes it easy to incorporate into an existing small hive beetle management routine without requiring specialised installation equipment.
