Q: How far from your plants should you place a beetle trap?
Position it a minimum of 10', and ideally about 30', from the plants you're trying to protect, since the trap's dual fruit-and-pheromone scent lure draws beetles in from a distance.
EM216 - Japanese Beetle Trap
In recent years, Japanese beetles have become a big problem for gardeners. These pests can arrive in droves and are extremely destructive.
This disposable trap uses dual scents of fruit and pheromones to lure the beetles away from your plants and become trapped in a bag from which they cannot escape.
It should be placed a minimum of 10' but ideally about 30' from the plants you are trying to protect. One lure will last for one beetle season, from May until August. The trap is easily assembled.
Note: This trap should not be used as a deterrent, as it will bring more of the pests to the area. It should only be used after a Japanese beetle infestation has been confirmed.
Position it a minimum of 10', and ideally about 30', from the plants you're trying to protect, since the trap's dual fruit-and-pheromone scent lure draws beetles in from a distance.
No, it shouldn't be used as a preventive deterrent. The scent lure actually draws more beetles into the area, so it's meant to go out only after an infestation has been confirmed.
One lure lasts a full beetle season, running from May until August, so a single trap covers the whole period beetles are active.
It assembles easily by hand and requires no tools, so you can have it in place the same day you notice beetle damage.
They feed on leaves, flowers and fruit in large numbers, skeletonizing foliage on many ornamental and garden plants when populations are heavy.
