How do you make a Japanese Beetle trap??

Question

I would rather make the trap then go buy a few, so if you can give me details on how to make one, that would help a bunch!

Answer 1

You REALLY DON'T want to make traps. The traps, whether store bought or homemade, will just ATTRACT more japanese beetles to your yard. In my 'Plant Pest and Diseases' course in college, my instructor said the best thing to do with japanese beetle traps is to give them to your neighbors a few blocks away.

Answer 2

The traps actually just attract more beetles.

Get yourself some milky spore. Put it down and you're set for about 10 years.

Answer 3

sorry... you don't have the necessary pheremone... and without that, the males won't pay a dab of attention to you or your trap.... buy one, but put it on the telephone pole on the corner, not in your yard!!
