I am using better beetle blaster for SHB control. The instructions say to fill it with vegetable oil but I've also heard of others that use hydrogenated lime. I thought this would be a liquid but it is a powder. Is there advantages in using one or the other? I understand that in vegetable oil they would drown, but I don't understand how they would die with hydrogenated lime. Lastly, I've heard of others that use hydrogenated lime to prevent SBH by sprinkling it around the hives, has anyone seen this to be effective?
