Get rid of Japanese beetles without poison chemicals or sprays!

What happens here

Carefully tear open the sealed lure packet (avoid direct skin contact if possible due to strong scent). The lure contains an oily, fruity-smelling substance that attracts beetles. Slide the lure packet into one of the vertical grooves on the inside of the yellow plastic trap housing. For added protection from rain, you can bend the top plastic flap of the lure packet over to create a small 'rain shield' before inserting it into the groove. The lure is designed to last for days but can be washed away by rain.

Goal: Open the sealed lure packet and insert it into one of the designated grooves in the trap housing, optionally bending the top to create a rain shelter.
