Get rid of Japanese beetles without poison chemicals or sprays!
What happens here
Within minutes to hours of hanging the trap, Japanese beetles will begin to fly into the trap and accumulate in the collection bag. The bag is perforated, allowing beetles to survive for a period, giving more time for others to be attracted. Once the bag is full or after about 4 days (when the scent of dead beetles becomes quite strong), carefully detach the bag from the housing. You can empty the beetles into a garbage bag, a compost bin, or feed them to chickens as a protein snack.
Goal: Regularly check the collection bag for trapped beetles and dispose of them as needed. Captured beetles can be composted or fed to chickens.
