RESCUE! Japanese Beetle Trap – Reusable Bag - 2 Traps

Really attracts those beatles!

I was surprised this trap worked as well as it did. The assembly was short & simple. I placed both traps 25-30 feet from area I needed to protect. I could see Japenese Beetles falling into trap as I watched from a distance. I did have to empty both of them 3x during the Beetle busy months. It appeared when the traps got full more Beetles could exit the trap because they did not fall down to the bottom & get trapped. I was very happy with this purchase & will repeat next season. When traps were emptied I opened the bottom into a pail of water with added Dawn soap to kill the remaining live Beetles.

This is best fight against them have gotten

We only bought two of these and placed them 30 feet away from our fruit producing trees. Set up was pretty easy. Hanging then was easy. We didn't have to wait long for the bags to fill. Pluses are: Chickens will come and gather under the bags for beetles that fall too the ground. So it's a great chicken feed supplement. Beetles collected also make great fish food if you have a pond. The down side of these bags is the Velcro bottom closure. I found after emptying the bags the first time, the beetle poop clogged and weakened the Velcro so that the next time the bag filled, the weight of the beetles caused the bag to open and the beetles happily fell out, flew off, and some found their way back to the lure bags. We solved that issue by rolling up the bottom and securing with some clothes pins. It may be better to hang the bags further away from the plants the beetles love, like 200 - 300feet away. The lures work well, but I think we had less beetles the last couple of years when I hand picked them off. We still have beetles in our plum trees and lots on the grapevines. And they just love my hibiscus. Note that the bags do not actively kill the beetles like some fly traps with water, so make sure you have a way of disposing of them once you have a full bag... And it will get very full, sometimes twice a day.

I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. Apparently June bugs season is at my house this year. It feels like they all collectively decided my house was the JB HQ. I went back outside about 25 minutes after I hung it up and this is what I see.. 10/10 will recommend to everyone for the rest of my life.

I'm a resident of central Florida and do battle with the black June Bugs from May through July evety year. They eat my tomatoes, my roses, my mangoes, and other plants. They seem to be immune to everything except very harsh pesticides... and no manufacturers of beetle traps make traps specifically for this type of beetle.I bought these in the hope it would help me control the numbers of beetles.The trap was simple, easy to set up and comes with a scent lure. I hung it up and within hours it had trapped a few lovebugs, but no beetles at all, despite my yard being full of both. So I decided to try and figure out why.What I learned is that beetles emit pheremones when they are in mating season which attracts other beetles, but each beetle species has it's own pheromones that do different things. Pheremones help beetles decide what beetle is of their species, which are male or female, which are sexually receptive, which are happy and healthy and which are stressed and unhealthy.Japanese beetle pheremone scent is pretty easy for us to replicate and turn into bait for these traps. Other beetle species are more difficult and costly which is why we dont have traps for other types.So the trick was to figure out how to find some happy healthy beetles and get them in the trap. It was no trick actually!I visited my garden, found a cherry tomato that three beetles were happily feasting on, then pitched it into the trap. The next morning three bottles had become approximately 10. I found another tomato with beetles and threw that in the trap. Presto, the next day there were at least 50 beetles in the trap!The trap has been set for 5 days now... every now and then I toss a small tomato into the trap, then more beetles join the feast and fall in the trap, and there are now almost NO beetles in my yard.So, this trap definately works on black Southern June bugs... but any trap would work. They just need a bit of food to keep them emitting those happy pheremone scents and draw them all in!

I bought these for the garden because I had a Japanese beetle infestation. Within 24 hrs of putting them out (bought 2 so I could have one at either end of my garden) the Japanese beetles began to swarm around them and went into the traps. So by 48 hrs afterwards my beetle problem was almost non-existent. Already in my cart for this year!

I was happy to see them efficient and very loaded with japanese beetles. I think this kind of trap help a lot on saving my garden. Unfortunately i still have a lot of ugly Grubs on the soil. I still need to use Bio Advanced 24-Hour Grub Plus for Lawns to kill them ! i think this trap is 70 % efficient. Really helped my garden ! IS THE ONLY ONE WAY TO FIGHT AGAINST JAPANESE BEETLES WHAT CAN RUIN ANY GARDEN ! I COLLECT HUNDREDS IN THE FIRST DAY !
