Sticky Board for APIS Small Hive Beetle Trap

Simple Monitoring for Small Hive Beetles: OZ Armour Sticky Board for APIS Trap

The OZ Armour Sticky Board for APIS Small Hive Beetle Trap is a replacement sticky insert designed specifically for the APIS Small Hive Beetle Trap. It provides a simple way to capture beetles entering through the trap's 2 mm slots while helping beekeepers monitor beetle activity inside the hive.

Made from all-weather cardboard with a high-tack adhesive coating, the board is designed to remain effective in the humid conditions commonly found inside a hive. It measures 10.6 cm × 10.6 cm and can last for up to four months, depending on beetle activity and hive conditions.

Designed Specifically for the APIS Trap

The sticky board is made to fit directly inside the APIS Small Hive Beetle Trap. It is not designed for Beetle Barn traps, so selecting the correct replacement board is important for maintaining compatibility.

Once installed at the base of the APIS trap, the adhesive surface provides a dedicated area for capturing beetles that enter through the trap's openings.

Long-Lasting Adhesive Surface

The high-tack adhesive coating is designed to remain sticky even when exposed to moisture inside the hive. This makes the board suitable for ongoing beetle monitoring without requiring frequent replacement under normal conditions.

The actual service life depends on the amount of beetle activity and debris collected, so regular inspection is recommended.

Easy to Install and Replace

Using the sticky board is straightforward. Open the APIS trap, place the board flat at the base, and position the trap inside the hive where beetle activity is most likely.

During inspections, check the board and replace it when it becomes filled with beetles or debris. Used boards should be disposed of responsibly before fitting a fresh replacement.
