Questions & Answers
Over the years, these traps have proven to be effective for me. Once the trap bag starts to fill, or once the 4-minute mark has passed, I turn it over to the security guard After every 6 days, when the bag begins to stink and have bugs dying, I dump it out and throw it in a newspaper It would also be fine to use a grocery plastic bag. Using a sharp knife, I tie it off in a knot and throw it away. To help clean the trap bag, I add a couple drops of dishwashing liquid to it after washing. My method for drying it is to hang it upside down on a stick or pole after rinsing it. Whenever the first bag is full, I use the second to replace it. alternate only using two bags for the rest of the season. I like it a lot.
There is no doubt the trap would capture all of the Beetles, but I don't know if you could cope with the stench, it is unpleasant. I feel that both the trap and the rotting dead beetles would be unpleasant.
There is no answer for that, I am sorry. Here in Tennessee we do not have the Asiatic beetle. I believe that a mating pheromone, which attracts them to the treatment, is responsible for its efficacy on the Japanese beetles. As for whether they are related and whether they would work with the same scent, I have no idea.
Our first use was for beetles, and wow, I used raid bomb for the control of stink bugs in my shed * For the control of stink bugs in the house I caulked every crack in the house, put 7 spray bottles around the perimeter of my home and sprayed raid inside * These bugs are now

It just occurred to me that they might be Is it dramatic or just being a drama queen? Would these just not work well for me, or did I just misjudge them? My story about the beetle wars On my patio door just inside my patio door, I set up the trap at a table. In spite of the product being so simple, I had trouble understanding the instructions disproportionately. I initially had no real idea how the cute little "bar of soap" scented thing fits into the plastic bubble card. Once I put it together, it was very simple to use. I was able to pop it back in once it had popped out. The event however is forever etched in my memory The significance of the issue becomes apparent When it was put together, I carried it into the back yard and hung it midway between the beetle nest and the chicken coup There is damage to the flower bed and to According to the instructions, the spraying location was at least 30' away and downwind from the target plants. In my smug tone, I started counting as soon as the swarms arrived. I was surprised to see a few insects flying nearby after about 20 seconds. After a mere 5 seconds of running, I had reached the patio door for safety, bringing back my childhood fear of insects. Watching them swarm in the yard and begin dropping into the trap from inside, as well as at my door, I found myself standing motionless for a while. When I realized I could still smell the "attractant", I shook myself It had transferred to my hands while I was assembling the trap, which I then transferred These are the things they really love! In amazement, I watched the bugs gather and dive into the bag as soon as the doorknob was clean and I had calmed my fears. A few hours later, the bag had been filled to the narrow "fill line" in the center. caught the trap, moved it farther away from the house, and stuck a bucket of soapy water under it (a previous reviewer recommended) as soon as I got outside. After about 4 hours, by the time my husband arrived home, the 5 gallon bucket already had 4 gallons in it We dumped the bag of beetles after we collected 5 inches of beetles. He took the bucket of dead beetles to the country where he works and dumped them at his work site the next morning. Our daily routine has become accustomed to this. Hey there, bye! Your bucket doesn't need to be forgotten There are bugs in the bag! Still, we reuse it. As recommended by a second reviewer, I will likely rig the trap so it goes directly into a bucket. When I saw the bugs flying around, I was really freaked out. However, they did cease to be seen over the following days, and tend to mostly be found at or close to the traps. Additionally, it usually isn't allowed to fly in the mornings and evenings due to a daily schedule. As a result, a good amount of beetle control was achieved. It has been a while since I looked at my rose bushes and fruit trees. Besides providing some good cheap entertainment, this served as a good lesson in overcoming fear as well. I don't like it very much, because it's I have a lot, like you, and the bag fills quickly - there is no other option but to toss them The bugs are still alive. And most of them are crawling on the bag, the stake, the bucket, etc. If you don't remove them, you smell them. Ultimately, this is an effective, inexpensive, educational, and gross method.
However, I would like to make a few things clear before you use it Worked like a charm! Before using, I want to reiterate a few of the most important points Set up all stakes and bags before We have witnessed swarms of beetles attracted to the lure in a very short time! The first time I tried to open my lure, I wore disposable gloves and inserted the lure into a zipper storage bag inside an airtight zipper My entire action was performed within the walls of In next step, I zipped up the storage bag and went outside to get my bug bag staked with spectricide. In addition, place it away from areas where you want to spend time (such as porches and patios). If you don't do this, you're just luring them to your food source (your plants). Otherwise, you may attract beetles that wouldn't have been in your garden otherwise. You will also avoid getting bitten by them if they are kept away from human sitting areas. or replace the bags as often as possible! As soon as it starts to smell, the beetles will no longer be attracted to it. As they know the smell of their death, they may stay away from you can place a bucket of soapy water below the bag and let them fall into the water. Also, I just empty the bag into the bucket to kill them as they float. Currently, I'm using four bags. After I figured out how to set up the first bag, I had no problem setting up the rest. I was a bit shocked by the number of beetles that started flocking out of my lawn when I set these up, but I prefer them to the ones that are damaging my plants than the ones that are swarming in!.
In my opinion, the only complaint I have is that the small bag provided would fill up in less than It has finally been added a large kitchen trash bag, and you can see the haul I did in one day in the photo. Over the course of one weekend, I filled every last drop of a 5-gallon bucket with Japanese Beetles. You just need to make sure you put it far enough away from trees and bushes.
It took less than two days for the bag to be filled with LIVE beetles up to an inch from the top. Since there were no disposal instructions, I put on rubber gloves and shoved the trap bag into a gallon-sized bin and disposed of it The ziploc bag should be the right size. It got even worse as they started swarming inside the clear ziploc like they were in a nightmare. As I was throwing the bag in the garbage, I decided to spray some Raid bug killer in it to prevent it from becoming a zombie beetle.
It's wonderful to have you here. In the coming weeks, I will be ordering more. The first bag of beetles is placed in the freezer, the second bag is taken from the freezer, Popsicle beetles are fed to the chickens, and the third bag is used to collect beetles for future use.
There are many benefits to using these. In the past two seasons, I have used two protective fences on the perimeter of my property. Next season, I will deploy a third. In my area in Missouri, the beetles peak between July 1 and August 15, so it is necessary to empty out the bags as soon as they gather (or dispose of them and buy a new one if you are not into that) during peak beetle time. Purchasing extra bags is a good idea because even if you rinse them after every use, they will wear out after a week at most. It is usual for me to dump the full luggage with bugs into a 5-foot container The girl filled a gallon bucket with soapy water and watched as the little bastards drowned. It's always better to rinse the bags really well if you intend to reuse them, because the smell of the dead bug will actually repel them if it becomes overpowering.
