Pest Control for Beehives Beetle Traps, Varroa Treatments & Hive Protection

Effective pest control is essential for maintaining strong, productive bee colonies. Small hive beetles, Varroa mites, foulbrood, and ants can quickly weaken a hive if left unmanaged. Early detection, preventative strategies, and timely treatment are the keys to protecting brood, preserving honey stores, and ensuring long-term colony health.

Our pest control range is designed specifically for Australian beekeeping conditions, offering practical solutions for both backyard and commercial beekeepers. From targeted beetle traps to proven Varroa mite treatments, you’ll find reliable products that help reduce infestation pressure and support hive resilience throughout the season.

Small Hive Beetle Control

Small hive beetles can damage, comb and contaminate honey if populations grow unchecked. Using quality in-hive traps and attractants helps control beetles before they overwhelm the colony. Pairing physical traps with supportive treatments creates a proactive defence system that keeps hives cleaner and less stressed.

For consistent results, incorporating a trusted Small hive beetle trap into your management routine can significantly reduce beetle numbers and protect hive structure.

Varroa Mite Management & Monitoring

Varroa mites remain one of the most serious threats to honey bees. Regular monitoring using sticky boards, alcohol wash tools, or screened bottom boards allows you to track mite levels accurately. When treatment thresholds are reached, rotating approved miticides and oxalic acid options helps maintain effectiveness while supporting colony safety.

Hive Protection & Disease Prevention

Strong pest control also includes isolation tools, drone brood management, ant barriers, and diagnostic testing for diseases such as foulbrood. Taking a preventative approach minimises colony losses and reduces the need for emergency interventions.
