The water in the can/container doesn't have to be boiling hot, in fact, it can be cold. I add a little detergent to the water and simply knock the darned beetles into the water. As for those beetle bags, there's conflicting information/advice on using them. They can actually draw MORE beetles into your yard. If you have to use them place the bag in the back of your property, hopefully not near your neighbor's prized roses!
