Spectracide Bag-A-Bug Japanese Beetle Trap2

Spectracide® Bag-A-Bug® Japanese Beetle Trap2

Use of the Japanese beetle’s natural sex attractant for trapping is an ideal method to aid in the control of the insect through its own natural biology. It provides a means compatible with the environment and also helps avoid the indiscriminate use of harmful chemicals. The natural sex attractant, when used together with a proven floral lure, can attract from two to five times as many beetles as the commonly available floral lure alone.
  • Lure is effective over a 5,000 sq ft area
  • Lasts entire beetle season
  • Aids in the control of Japanese beetles through its own natural biology
  • Includes: 1-set of interlocking vanes, 1-dual lure system, 2-bags and 1-hang tie
  • Package includes easy-to-follow illustrated instructions for trap assembly, placement and disposal

How to use

1. Slide the vanes together so slots interlock.
 
2. LURE ATTACHMENT
Peel the cover from the dual lure system. Mount the opened lure between the yellow vanes by inserting the notched corners through the vane assembly slots as shown in Fig. 1. Make sure that the exposed side is facing INWARD and snap into place. Bend the tab on top slightly inward for protection from the rain.
  
3. BAG ATTACHMENT
Attach one of the disposable trap bags onto the yellow vane assembly as shown in Fig. 2. Gently push a small slit on the open end of the bag over each of the hooks on the vanes. Be careful not to tear or stretch the slits. Drop a few small pebbles into the bag to stabilize the trap. 		 
 
4. HANGER ATTACHMENT
Insert about 3 inches of the trap hanger tie through the two holes in the top of the vane assembly. Twist the tie to secure the trap. For use with the Spectracide® Bag-A-Bug® KwikStand® (sold separately), insert the stand’s hanger through one of the holes at the top of the vane as shown in Fig. 3.		  
5. TRAP PLACEMENT
To be most effective, the trap should be located about 30 ft downwind of foliage to intercept beetles heading toward it. Do not place trap near or in the foliage, as it will attract more beetles into it (see Fig. 4). Hang the trap on a KwikStand or any convenient post or stake. The bottom of the bag should be at least a foot above the ground, and the trap free to move in the wind without hitting any obstructions (see Fig. 5). Hang the trap where it is inaccessible to small children.		  
 
6. PERIODICALLY CHECK TRAP
The majority of beetles will be caught during their highest flight activity period. This is normally on sunny days with temperatures between 70˚F and 95˚F and from about 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Check bag occasionally. Replace it when the lower portion is full of beetles. Change the bags every four to five days to avoid repelling beetles due to odor of dead beetles. Inspect bag after rainstorms. If the drain holes along the bottom of the bag become clogged, gently clear them using a toothpick or pencil point or replace bag.
NOTE: Remove trap to a protected area during heavy rain or wind.
  

7. SEAL BAG WHEN FULL
Seal filled bags by knotting the top funnel portion. Normally, trapped beetles die after several hours in the heat and sun. Leaving sealed bags in sun for a while can kill live beetles. IMPORTANT: Make sure beetles are dead before disposal. See following section on disposal of bags.		  

8. LURE REPLACEMENT
For maximum effectiveness, begin trap use as early in the season as possible. Sexual activity of the Japanese beetle is greater in June in Southern states and July in Northern states. Under normal conditions, the combination lure is effective for about 12 weeks. Replace it after this period or when its floral aroma is no longer noticeable. Premature ineffectiveness of the lure may be due to a repellent odor from dead beetles. See step 6 and following section on disposal of lures.
  

9. PROBLEMS THAT MAY OCCUR
a) LURE NO LONGER ATTRACTS BEETLES • Few beetles in area • Repellent effect of dead beetles. See step 6. • Dual lure is unopened or uninstalled.
b) BEETLES EATING FOLIAGE/FLOWERS AFTER SETTING TRAP • Remove trap from immediate vicinity of foliage. See step 5.
c) BEETLES ESCAPING THROUGH BAGS • Animal damage.
Bags are often attacked and damaged at night by nocturnal animals (skunks, cats, etc.). Replace damaged bag. Bring trap inside each night to prevent future damage.
