Bonide Japanese Beetle Trap

The Bonide Japanese Beetle Trap provides control over the invasion of harmful Japanese beetles on a lawn and garden. These critters can ravage plants in no time, but beetles can be kept at bay all season long with this trap. The trap features a 2-way pheromone system with a built-in rain cover for optimal protection and until the bait is completely used, the hourglass will not begin to run. It works for up to 5,000 square feet, so it’s great for small and large gardens.

How the Bonide Japanese Beetle Trap Works

The Bonide Japanese Beetle Trap features a dual-lure system to draw Japanese beetles away from valuable ornamentals. By their aromatic floral and pheromone lures, the beetles are attracted to the trap. Once inside, they're trapped in a collection bag that looks like a sand timer. This beehive design does not allow the beetles to escape; it controls the beetles of the garden effectively.

The trap offers season-long safety so it's a great solution for the beetle problems in active time. It operates all the time without a break, it safeguards the garden against nuisance flies, offering full protection to plants all season long.

How to Use

The Bonide Japanese Beetle Trap is easy to set up. Here’s what to do for the perfect outlook:

1. Choose the Right Location

Place the trap at three to five feet off the ground. It needs to be 10 feet away from the plants so that it can function. Place the trap in the open area if there is so much sunlight, because beetles are very attracted to bright locations.

2. Avoid Placing the Trap Near Plants

Do not place the trap near the tree’s foliage, as this may attract beetles to the plant instead of away from it.

3. Regularly Monitor the Trap

The trap needs to be monitored to determine how many beetles it has been able to capture. With each full collection bag or any smell that occurs, it’s time for an exchange.

How to Maintain

Caring for the Bonide Japanese Beetle Trap is easy and will allow the trap to perform for years to come. Here are the maintenance steps:

1. Replace the Collection Bag: Once the collection bag is full or it starts to stink, just replace it with a new one. Trap features disposable collection bags so they're easy to replace.
2. Change the Lures: The two lures need to be switched at the end of the season. They work well all year, and it’s best to remove and change them for the next year for the best performance.
3. Store the Trap Properly: If the trap won’t be used for the off-season, make sure to keep it in a cool and dry place. The trap can be stored and used for up to 3 years.
