Small Hive Beetle Control

I found this interesting article by Jon Zawislak, from the University of Arkansas, Division of Agriculture regarding the control of Small Hive Beetles:

We are trying to deal with beetles right now.  Open to any Alabama suggestions you might have.

We're in the process of trying:

• Sticky paper under the screened bottom board

• Vaseline on the screened bottom board

• Squishin' 'em when we see 'em.

• Vacuuming them out.

• Oil-filled beetle traps between the frames.

We seem to have more than our fair share right now.
