Update To Article On Japanese Beetle Trap
I want to comment on an article in a recent issue about a reader who uses a 5-gal. bucket (Vol. 43, No. 4), instead of a bag, on his Japanese beetle trap. Several years ago I also replaced the bag using a 2-ft. long square piece of vinyl square tubing designed to protect a 4 by 4 post. A piece of pvc pipe would work just as well. I attached the trap and tubing to a pole and hung it over the pond with the bottom of the tube about an inch off the water. Within 2 min., a bluegill snapped up the first beetle killed. So it feeds the fish and there are no dead bugs to clean up. (Mike Stauffer, Leonardtown, Md.)Click here to download page story appeared in.
