9. They work really well...

Jul 7

I had a large garden and flower beds last year and the beetles showed up in droves. We put out four traps and the garden was left unscathed. I used four traps for about a 1/4 acre area.

Follow recommendations above. I'm just here to confirm they work. I was skeptical at first but was convinced shortly after putting them up.

They are around for a couple - few weeks, it seems then they suddenly go away.
Some birds like to eat them.
