for caz(ky) jap beetle trap

[Anonymous-0]

here is a couple pics of my beetle traps attached to plastic drums. i have em set around the edges of the fields. they use a pheremone lure and the bugs fall in the trap. works good. last year the little buggers tore heck on everything. this year they are no where near as bad. some guys say dont use them, just keep spraying insecticides. from what i seen, the beetle lands on a plant starts feeding, releases a scent, then a herd of em show up, strip the plant of foilage, then move on. i figgure they do a lot less damage if i can get em in the barrel, and keep em off my crops. i been spraying the garden and fruit trees with liquid sevin, 2 oz per gallon, seems to discourage them .

That's a neat trap should also work on those pesky Yellow jackets.

We use these traps on our golfcourse minus the drums and they work great. I would be afraid of the drums though because once they die they put of a horrible smell which will slow down new traffic into the trap. Do you clean them ofter or notice decline after you get a lot of dead ones in there.

yup clean em about once a week. last year the bettles were so bad the bags would fill in an afternoon. so i looked around the barn and had these plastic drums, and rigged them up.they really put a dent in the bug population.
