Here at least they fly around mostly at day. At lest, that's when my

has caught literally several thousand of them.

What kind of trap is that?

Just google "japanese beetle trap". There are multiple models of them--
but they all boil down to a
pheromone lure over a bag. The beetles fall into the bag and can't fly
out again. I bought mine at
Wal-Mart, but I'm sure you can get them anywhere with a garden center.


I have read that the traps actually can cause more harm than good as they
attract the beetles to your yard and unless everyone in the area has such a
trap, you end up attracting more than you kill.
