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.

What they say

you can see what's going on here they all just come to that lure that scent they're even up here where I touched the scent lure they're up there on the top of that so pretty amazing they're up there on that twist-tie I think it's awesome like I said right there's proofs in the pudding this works you see how they got bottle necked right in there so they're all kind of filling up their holes in this bag so it's preffer ated so that the bugs don't suffocate immediately so you should have enough time to fill this bag up before it starts getting stinky and after about four days it gets rank so you can see the bugs flying around this the winds blowing already they're gonna fly in here we're gonna give it to the end of the day and we're going to come back and show you how many we caught it's amazing it's a great trap guys and it's it's not a pesticide in other words it's not a poison that you're spraying your trees with and you're not not spraying your fruit with it so then what you need to do is as soon as you start seeing Japanese beetles you need to hang these in your fruit trees and they will encapsulate the Japanese beetles and hopefully solve your problem if you got chickens like we do they're right over there you got awesome chickens next here so we'll see you guys in a few hours after we countdown I guess let's just give it like five hours once again I'm going to show you one more time so you get your package you take these two pieces apart and you see that slit and that slit you push them together right there your bag comes just like this okay and this isn't a sponsored video or anything like this it's just me trying to help you guys out because man Japanese beetles can be such a troublesome thing to your flowers to your bushes to your fruit trees we've got several plum trees over here they've just been decimated by them and literally it's only taken maybe two days for these guys to to do that so I think the Japanese beetle and you guys can correct me if I'm wrong this is our twist tie by the way goes in the top I think Japanese beetles come out of the ground their grub that's in the ground and they hatch out of the ground into the beetle and then they lay eggs for next year back in the ground and the cycle completes itself so if you can stop that cycle or put the brakes on that cycle it's very helpful again these little tabs you take that and push it right through there just like that pretty simple but it tends to fall apart it's not the most robust…
