Only three or four times? I changed them that often in a week! and with three traps. Need to change often due to smell of dead beetles counteracts bait lure. Change them even if not full. Then tie ends and lay in sun to kill them off.itsbob said:Japanese Beetle traps that Lowes sell work miracles.. saved my rose bushes last year, and had to "reload three or four times, two different traps..
Probably killed upwards of 3 or 4 THOUSAND beettles, which translates to probably 300 or 400 THOUSAND less this year.
We used to sit outside and watch the trap suck them in... But don't forget to change out the traps.. the smell of 3000 decaying beetle carcasses does NOT smell pleasant.
