Thanks will check it out. I have taken a gloved hand/also a stick and wacked them in a bucket with water and dawn.
Where do you place the traps and how many would you suggest. I have rose bushes, bamboo, peach trees, etc. (some I can’t identify because I threw away the identification tag . . .most of my plants have been rescued on sale before they became a tax write off for WalMart and other stores selling plants.) I’ve been at this for two years.
The description in the catalogs and instructions that come with the traps should give you and idea. I don’t recall the particulars.
We just had one trap that we put close to the Rosa Rugosa, since the beetles were totally swarming the rose hips. The other stuff they haven’t really bothered since we put out that one trap.
I’m thinking the Rosa Rugosa may be sort of like a “trap” plant having such an attraction that they forget about the other stuff, but that is sheer speculation on my part.
