Each blister-style unit is molded in durable black plastic sized to fit neatly at the top or bottom corners of a frame; the package contains 40 identical pieces so you can outfit multiple hives or replace units seasonally. They rely on a simple mechanism: add a thin layer of mineral or vegetable oil (or slaked lime as an alternative) so beetles slip in and become trapped, reducing beetle activity in brood and honey areas without electronics or chemicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I install the Beetle Blaster in my hive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward and designed for repeatable placement. Position one Blaster in the upper and\/or lower corner of a drawn frame, ensuring it aligns with the frame's edge for unobstructed access.

Slaked lime can be used where appropriate, but follow local beekeeping recommendations if choosing alkaline options. Only a small quantity is required — just enough to coat the interior so beetles cannot climb out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMineral oil: safe and long-lasting coating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVegetable oil: biodegradable, easy to source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlaked lime: alternative for beetle immobilization where accepted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRefill when liquid is depleted or contaminated; monitor during inspections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill these work with my hive type and frames?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blasters are sized for typical Langstroth frame corners but can be used in other hives where there’s a similar corner gap. Their compact 23 x 4 x 3.8 cm dimensions let them tuck into frame edges without blocking bee traffic.

The Miokun 40 Pack Plastic Beetle Blaster is aimed at hobbyist and small-scale beekeepers who want a low-maintenance, chemical-free supplemental tool for reducing small hive beetle presence inside hives. The bulk pack supplies enough units for several hives or repeated replacements, making it suitable for seasonal use, apiary expansion, or beekeepers experimenting with passive trapping methods. This product is plastic, easy to clean or replace, and best used alongside good hive management and regular inspections rather than as a single solution for heavy infestations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How many blasters come in one package?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The package includes 40 individual Beetle Blaster units for multiple frames or hives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use these repeatedly?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
