Sterling Rescue Japanese and Oriental Beetle Trap Disposable The only trap to catch both Japanese and Oriental beetles, and the only trap with a durable, welded design to ensure the bag and panels stay intact. *IMPORTANT NOTE: Japanese Beetle Traps are sold only to eastern US states (East of Missouri) THIS TRAP CANNOT BE SOLD IN CALIFORNIA because of CA State Regulations. These traps WILL NOT work for Western US Japanese Beetles
How it works
The trap uses floral scents proven to be a natural attractant, along
with the beetle's natural sex attractant. The trap uses a
scientifically designed method to control the release of these natural
floral and sex attractants to lure both male and female beetles to the
trap. The convenient plastic cone design prevents the user from having
to handle the actual attractants.
What kills the insects
Once attracted by the pheromone scent, Japanese beetles fly into the
large yellow panels of the trap and are stunned on impact. They then
fall into the attached bag. Once inside, they cannot fly out of the
trap.
Where it's used
The trap should be placed at least 30 feet from ornamental plants,
to lure beetles away from the area where they are creating damage. Hang
the trap by its twist-tie hanger from a post or stake four feet above
the ground, away from the desired foliage. During heavy rain or wind,
the trap should be removed to a protected location.
When it's used
Infestation of the adult Japanese beetles occurs mid-June in the
southern part of the United States, and around July 4 in the
Northeastern and Upper Midwestern part of the U.S.
