Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This works! I'll reiterate some important points everyone should know before using: 1) set up all the stakes and bags BEFORE opening the lure. The lure attracts swarms of beetles quickly! After a bad experience on my 1st attempt, I decided to wear disposable gloves to open the lure while the lure was inside a zipper storage bag. I did all of this while I was inside my house. I then zipped the storage bag and went outside to the staked spectricide bug bag. I QUICKLY unzipped the storage bag, secured the lure to the staked bug bag, threw my latex gloves into the storage bag, zipped it, and ran back inside. (This will only seem excessive to those of you who have not been covered by a swarm of beetles and had to pick them off your body, clothes, and out of your hair, but we're at the same time attracting MORE beetles because you smelled like the lure.) 2) Put these bug bags AT LEAST 30 feet DOWNWIND of the plants you are trying to save from the beetles. I also advise putting it away from areas you want to be (like patios and porches). Otherwise you are just luring them to the food source (your plants), as you WILL attract beetles that weren't already in your garden. Keeping them away from human sitting areas also keeps them off you. 3) Empty the bags or replace the bags often! When it starts to smell, the beetles will no longer be lured. They know the scent of their death and will avoid it. 4) To catch even more beetles, add a bucket of soapy water below the bag to catch the ones that fall off the outside. I also just empty the bag into the bucket to kill them in the water. I'm currently using 4 bags, set up was easy after I figured out the first one. I'm a bit disturbed by the amount of beetles that began swarming from out of my lawn when I set these up, but I'd much rather attract them to these bags than to have them devastate my plants!
