Anybody having problems with Japanese Beetles ? ? ?
They are quite the nuisance in the Summer months and damage plants by eating the leaves.
I buy and use the scented bait traps. The scent works great for attracting the Beetles any where downwind.
Only problem with these Traps is the Beetles are caught in a plastic bag.
The plastic bags work, but you have to look inside and they collect rain-water.
My solution to this was to replace the bag with a water bottle.
Now I can view several traps and see when the bottle needs replacing.
----------------------------
When FULL, remove bottle, (screw cap ON)
Install empty bottle.
Good to go.
