Top Bait Plus 35g – Small Hive Beetle-Apis Traps

Target Small Hive Beetles with APIS Trap Bait: OZ Armour Top Bait Plus 35g

The OZ Armour Top Bait Plus 35g is a pest-control gel designed for use with APIS Small Hive Beetle Traps. It provides a dedicated baiting solution for managing small hive beetles inside the hive while also being suitable for cockroach control in other areas.

The 35g pack is designed specifically for use with compatible APIS traps. The gel is placed into the middle slot of the trap rather than applied directly inside the hive, helping keep the bait contained within the intended trapping system.

Designed for APIS Small Hive Beetle Traps

Top Bait Plus is made for use with APIS Small Hive Beetle Traps, giving beekeepers a dedicated bait option to complement the trap's entry and capture system.

For hive applications, the product instructions specify filling the middle slot of the APIS trap with the gel. It should not be applied directly into the hive, keeping the bait within the designated trap.

Dual-Purpose Pest Control

The gel is described as being suitable for both small hive beetle and cockroach control. This gives the 35g pack applications beyond the apiary while keeping the product useful for targeted pest-management tasks.

For small hive beetle management, it is intended to be used with an APIS trap rather than placed directly among the bees or hive components.

Simple Application and Maintenance

Using Top Bait Plus is straightforward. Apply the gel to the middle slot of a compatible APIS trap and ensure the trap remains dry during use.

The product information recommends cleaning and refilling the gel monthly during spring and summer, with refilling every three months during winter. Regular maintenance helps keep the baiting system ready for continued use.
