better Japanes beetle trap
Here is something for everyone who likes the performance and results
achieved with commercially available Japanese beetle traps but hates the smell that the bags take on after a few days. No more smell. No more bags to buy. http://home.insightbb.com/~downeyjf Check it out. I have written a bunch of stuff about North Central Indiana's (Kokomo, to be exact) beetle season so far, including how the traps work, what srategies work for me, and how well traps attract (or don't) beetles that might be in my neighbors yards. I have included about 20 pictures of traps, lures and trees so you can judge for yourself. E-mail me with questions if you have them. I'll be happy to tell you what I've seen. Joel |

OK, I guess I don't know what the issue is here, but I'm beginning no to
like this guy. Man, what is your problem? I am trying to relay information to folks who could use it. There is lots of useful information on my site concerning Japanese beetle and control, despite what you think about the traps. It's all there, and available without having to buy anything. If they do then OK, but I didn't place an order for them as soon as they get there. The information on my site is basically on on-going experiment that everyone can watch and come to their own conclusions. One thing that I forgot to mention in the other thread is that I believe, but don't have data to back it up, that my trap method might be more effective than others on the market, due to the significant reduction in odor given off by the dead beetles. Which, of course you knew was a beetle repellant. If so, then the data generated by the experiment you reference doesn't apply, does it? However since this is the first full year of application, I won't know until I can run some further experiments with other traps in a controlled experiment. But for you to dismiss it out-of-hand shows a lack of understanding of basic scientific principles. Sorry to go on the offensive but in my estimation it needed to be done. I'm trying my best to show others what I've done to stop Japanese beetles from ruining my peach trees. If they want to try it, great, if not, still great. If I've come up with something that works better than other stuff on the market, so be it. If it gets patented (an application has been filed), it will be the 11th I've received, so I have a little experience with coming up with ideas no one else has. For what that's worth. BTW, I'd be interested in the credentials you have that give you any authority in the discussion. Experiences you've had, papers you've written, experiments you've run, things like that.

No No, Oh please, please don't call insight. That would terrify me!!!!!
Webster defines SPAM as: " Date: 1994: unsolicited usually commercial E-mail sent to a large number of addresses". So, by definition, this is not SPAM. I posted it to a news group. I did not e-mail it to a large number of addresses. It may be in violation of one of Insight's newsgroup policies, but I doubt it. However, it is not SPAM, at least by Webster's definition. Have I answered your question?? If you still have a problem with it, contact Insight and find out if it is a problem. No one is forced to go to the website, no one is forced to even read the post. For you to basically attack me for having an opinion different from yours is low, even for a Mopar guy. I set up my website through Insight. I set up my catalog through them as well, with tools they provided. So posting about a website on their server would be OK, I would think. But, one never knows. So if you want to get the post canceled for being spam, knock youself out. JD wrote in message ...

The only thing you haven't taken into consideration in your tirades is the fact the this newsgroup, along with thousands of others do not allow commercial post, and I suspect your provider will soon make you painfully aware of your intrusions on such groups. I don't think you are going to like the outcome. Tom J |

Tom,
I'm sorry but I did not realize that this was prohibited. If so, then I will not post concerning any commercial ventures in the future. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. A simple note such as "You might want to reconsider commercial postings. Most newsgroups prohibit them" would have been to the point and much less inflamatory. This is in reference to the SPAM question. One thing I have found to be quite annoying about newsgroups and the web in general is the lack of common courtesy. If I had been informed in a more polite manner, I might have considered the advice instead of reacting the way I did. BTW, I did post concerning the website in early June and never was reprimanded. I guess they must have missed it?? Again, thanks. Joel "Tom J" wrote in message ... "Joel Downey" wrote in message . net... I set up my website through Insight.

I was merely informing him there were other considerations for continuing to do commercial post to non-commercial newsgroups. I don't have to be the cop because others always take care of the notifications, as has already been mentioned. I attempted to save him problems with the location of his site, which may already be too late. Tom J |

I generally PLONK the sender. And despite this guys comments there
is little information at his site on Japanese Beetles other than how to build his trap using his clip-jointer. However, believe duct tape would work just as well and I already have some of that.
