japanese beetle lure trap

no poison involved. no danger to pets or pollinating insects. i highly recommend this if you have problems with the japanese beetles.

there is a lure up at the top. the bugs come near and end up falling into the trap. then they cant get out.

there is a zipper at the bottom of the bag to empty out the bugs.

the bugs are still alive in the trap. you have to empty the trap into a bucket of water and let the bugs drown. caught this many bugs the first week alone.
