Bee Mesh
The Varroa mite problem
Varroa (“Varroa destructor”) are external parasitic mites which feed off live bee larvae and adults. The varroa mite has spread to most parts of the country, most recently through Otago and Southland. Infected hives will eventually die off if left untreated. Since its discovery in New Zealand in 2000, treatment of Varroa has posed an ongoing challenge to beekeepers in finding cost effective, viable treatment options.

Bee mesh helps with varroa control
A 6-mesh or 8-mesh bottom board in hives has been shown to help reduce varroa infestation. Mites dislodged from bees through mutual grooming or self grooming fall through the wire mesh and are prevented from crawling back up and reattaching themselves. While the mesh panels themselves do not remove the varroa mite infestation, they are an excellent tool to be used in conjunction with other proven control methods.

Monitoring
Removal and inspection underneath mesh panels enables beekeepers to:
- monitor the levels of infestation in hives.
- determine the effectiveness of treatments.
- determine the timing of treatment.
- identify the need to change to another treatment if necessary.
Failure to effectively monitor Varroa levels can result in hive death.
Other benefits
Mesh panels help prevent the infestation of wasps, ants and wax moths by preventing them from climbing up into the hive. The panels also prevent mice from entering and nesting in hives over the winter months. Mesh panels also provide essential ventilation in the hive.
Stainless steel woven wire mesh flooring is a non-chemical, long lasting, food-safe and cost effective tool in helping control infestation levels.

Xcluder Cat Nets

Xcluder® has been containing or excluding both pet and feral cats since 1996, when we first started designing fences and barriers. We have seen the value that pet cats bring to many people's lives, but also the disease and environmental damage that cats can cause when in the wrong places at the wrong times.
A cat enclosure is an ideal way to provide your cat a healthy outdoor experience, whilst ensuring theirs, and the local wildlife’s safety. We have a range of cat fence or enclosure options and products that can be used to keep cats in or out.
There are 3 main categories of cat-net installation:
- Fence line netting.
- Netting attached to existing structures (ie: verandah / patio / side alley etc).
- A stand-alone freestanding cat enclosure. Glass house frames have proved to be very suitable for building free standing enclosures.

Xcluder® supplies some of the cat netting and accessories required for a D.I.Y Catnet self-installation at wholesale prices. We supply a full list of products required for self-installation and although we do not stock many of them they are readily available through hardware suppliers. We are New Zealand-based distributors of Catnet products. Cat enclosures self-installed, on average, cost less than half of those installed by professionals.
Xcluder® does not do any measure ups or installations, however we can work in with your builder or handyman to help them build a cat enclosure for you.
