Beekeepers & Apiaries
Protect your hives from wasp predation — bee-safe, chemical-free wasp control for NZ apiarists.
Beekeepers & Apiaries
For beekeepers, German and common wasps aren’t a nuisance — they’re a direct threat to every hive. A single wasp can kill dozens of bees in minutes, and a strong wasp nest near an apiary can overwhelm and destroy a colony, especially going into winter.
GotchaPest’s reusable, bee-safe wasp traps intercept wasps around your apiary without harming a single bee, and the Pest Tracker shows you where wasp pressure is building across your district so you can get traps out early.

Wasps raiding hives
Bee-safe traps around apiary perimeters intercept foraging wasps before they reach the hive entrance — no chemicals near bees, honey or comb.
Autumn robbing defence
Wasps peak as nectar flows end and target weak hives. Traps deployed late season protect colonies going into winter.
District early warning
The Pest Tracker shows wasp reports filling in across your district so you act before pressure reaches your hives.
