Do not buy the traps!!!! I have been fighting with these little buggers for over three years now, and I am using milky spore in the early fall and spring now for two years and it’s getting better. My first year I put out the traps and I was getting several hundred every day. Last year I put out traps and I think every Japanese beetle in the neighborhood decided to descend into my yard because I was taking out thousands Every single day.. There’s no way all those Beatles came from my yard. I researched it and they said that they can smell for over a mile the scent that’s in those traps so I just escalated the problem when I put them in my yard . This year I just pull them off and kill them in soapy water this year and it seems to be working.
