Features of this swarm trap box include a stout built-in hanger bracket and a really handy entrance disk that allows you to quickly close off the entrance for transport.

Their so-called \"wax dipping\" process involves just a quick dip into a vat of warm liquid wax, which simply coats the wood, rather than impregnating the wood like our process does. Their process will require re-coating every couple of years, while ours will last for decades without maintenance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"HillCo, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42657566785791,"sku":"2375","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/5520\/0511\/files\/Swarm_Trap_1.jpg?v=1769093677"},{"product_id":"swarm-trap-hanger-strap","title":"Swarm Trap Hanger Strap","description":"This hanger strap is the perfect tool for hanging swarm traps from a tree.
