Japanese Beetle traps by Dewitt Myers (Fort Washington, MD,USA)  5 Stars
August 07, 2009
The beetle traps I have used for years and they were so old and crack. I had to completely dispose of them. So I was glad and surprised to see I could purchase something like this again that I previously had. When I went to Lowe's and Home Depot stores, but could not find the type of beetle traps that I use to have. The old ones had to be ten or more years old. So very surprise to go on line and find the type that I use to own. I ordered them and now am using them in my yard. They are fantastic. My wife and I are very please.

Best trap I've used for beetles by B. Brown 5 Stars
July 08, 2009
After having lots of bad luck with the bags that have been in use for years (the beatles would chew through them and just fly away), I ran across these and decided to give them a try. I have a large yard and have 3 of them placed in different areas. It's amazing how many are caught and it's so easy to dispose of them and reuse the container. Plus they fold down for storage in the off-season. I got mine out the other day and the baits are still working from last year! I would highly recommend these to others.

Most cost effective method for trapping and disposing of beatles by Frederick Dunn (Rural Pennsylvania) 5 Stars
May 02, 2009
There are many options out there for capturing the dreaded Japanese Beetle.
Many of them include bags, which you have to purchase in quantity and it's expensive aside from being wasteful. My dog has chewed through the bags of other systems.
The Tangle Foot trap is re-usable and saves money and waste in the long run. The traps are well designed, can handle high wind conditions (bags often tear and lose their contents). The expandable traps are well made and easy to wash out, have drainage holes so the beetles once trapped, do not rot in the summer heat in their own juices.
I made a video where I review the merit of these well designed traps, you may view it on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ix9GHjmsAno
I don't sell them, nor have an interested in marketing them. My goal is to educate people as to the best and least wasteful methods of capture.
Don't buy bags, that's just silly.... capture and compost or recycle the beetles by giving them to chickens or other birds (kill them in soapy water first).
This is hands down, the most effective method of attracting and capturing Japanese Beetles.
Some will say that drawing beetles to a trap, also brings them to your yard/property from other yards? This may be true, however, you are indeed removing them from the breeding cycle and over years to come, if you are consistent, the numbers will be reduced greatly.
Without these traps, I would have lost all of my plumb trees to defoliating beetles.
The only thing you have to replace with this system is the bait. That is very inexpensive in the long run.
Happy Beetle Trapping!

Definitely Gets Them....... by B. Hubbartt 5 Stars
July 31, 2008
For some reason the Japanese beetles have come out in full force this summer. I've always had them munching on my rhubarb plants but this year they have made a major assault on three of my apple trees and they are starting on two others. While the traps will not solve the problem they do live up to their promise of attracting the beetles to the trap. One thing should be stressed when cleaning out the container. Do it in the morning or evening when it has cooled down. What I do is take two plastic grocery bags(one inside another) and untwist the hard plastic container. The container was so full that the beetles were dropping out as I undid the container. Quickly (I really stress this) put the opening of the container in the bag and shake it. The beetles will fall into the bag and after you feel as though you've got the container cleaned out, close the bag fast. If you do this at noon you will find yourself dealing with very active beetles flying out of the container and buzzing near you.
I left my bag laying out in the hot afternoon sun and then disposed of the beetles in my garbage can.

Great Product by R. Poff (Virginia) 5 Stars
July 04, 2008
This Japanese Beetle trap is wonderful. I used to use the plastic bags and the beetles would eat through them. With this hard plastic container there is no way they can eat through. Plus, they can't crawl out of the container because of the way it is designed. They last much longer too. I feed the beetles to my fish in our pond and they swim right up to the edge waiting for me to empty the trap. Great product, highly recommended.
