I have some beetle blasters in a couple of hives and they seem to work pretty good, they will not catch "every" beetle, but I really don't think any of them will.

Have not tried either one of the others, the beetle jail seems a little pricey to me, and they have not been out long so the jury is still out on them as I see it.

The one thing I like is no chemicals in the hive!!

or none of the above?????

keep the hives strong and keep them out of the shade and you will have less problems with beetles

Sam,

Do you have a problem with beetles?

You asked "when" you should put the beetle trap in the hive. Answer....Never, as it should not be a concern here in the north.
