Description
Small Hive Beetle Soil Treatment helps beekeepers manage SHB pressure around the hive. Because soil pupation drives beetle numbers, this treatment plays an important role in your control plan. In addition, it supports your in‑hive tools by targeting larvae before they mature. As a result, your colonies face fewer sudden beetle surges during warm months. This introduction improves readability and keeps your key information clear for customers.
What Is Small Hive Beetle Soil Treatment?
Temephos Small Hive Beetle Granule is our brand new Aussie-born innovation, and is your latest tool in your SHB defence system! Backed by 5 years of extensive research and trials on large scale commercial hives, it has been proven to help dramatically reduce SHB larvae pupation in the soil around beehives and help limit flushes of adult beetle activity in the summer!
This Small Hive Beetle Soil Treatment helps stop SHB larvae from pupating in the soil, which reduces sudden beetle emergence events.
How Temephos Soil Treatment Works?
Temephos Small Hive Beetle Granules are to be lightly sprinkled at a rate of 10g/m² onto damp soil around the hive or watered in.*
When the Small Hive Beetles active in the hive leave to pupate in the soil near the hive, the active Temephos treatment present in the soil will prevent the larvae from maturing, disrupting the life cycle and dramatically reducing the likelihood and severity of emergence events.
It offers long lasting, low-maintenance defence for your hives, reapplying every 3 months to ensure ongoing protection.
