Beetltra

Beetltra operates out of Twelve Mile Creek in the Hunter Valley, offering a specialised solution for one of Australian beekeeping's most persistent threats: the small hive beetle. Rather than traditional pest control services, they've developed the BEETLTRA trap, a UV-stable black plastic device that fits externally underneath beehive baseboards to manage small hive beetle populations. Their approach focuses on providing beekeepers with a low-toxicity, environmentally friendly alternative to chemical treatments. The trap design is straightforward to install and aims to control Aethina tumida beetles that can devastate hives if left unchecked. Customers have praised the efficiency of both the service and delivery, with one reviewer noting it's a "great product" that does what it promises. While they're not your typical pest control outfit dealing with household insects or wildlife, Beetltra has carved out a niche serving the beekeeping community across New South Wales and beyond. They operate weekdays and close on weekends. For beekeepers in the Hunter region and further afield looking for an effective beetle management system without harsh chemicals, Beetltra offers a practical Australian-made solution worth considering.
