Of 265,884 beetles captured, 48% were captured by a cluster of 3 traps each with a single dual lure, 30% by a single trap baited with 3 dual lures, and 22% by a single trap baited with one dual lure. Traps baited with the floral lure (ie kairomone) and the floral lure and the...
Japanese beetle traps use a lure (pheromones, floral scents, or both) to attract beetles from far and wide. The beetles fly into the trap, then get stuck in a bag or funnel, depending on the trap’s design. The problem with Japanese beetle traps:These traps are usually better at attract...

As part of a program to minimize the accidental transportation of Japanese beetles (Popillia japonica) through cargo aircraft to areas where they are not established, a 4-yr trapping project was initiated to study the relative distribution and dynamics of the beetles along a trap line around the...
Ants often act as scale bodyguards, keeping the honeydew producers safe from beneficial insects. Trap the interfering ants by banding the Japanese blueberry tree's trunk with fabric covered with a commercial sticky substance. Trimming back nearby branches will force the ants to climb over the fabr...
