- Every year the Japanese Beatles swarm the yard and garden eating raspberries and flowers. This year I am trying two Japanese Beetle traps.
I have the Spectracide Bag-A-Bug:

And the Bonide Beetle Bagger:

Both traps work but the Bonide seems to really catch those pests the best.

I love the Spectracide trap! When the bag gets full we pop it in the freezer until all of the beetles are too cold to fly away then dump the bag in our chicken run, and the chickens go wild!!!
Chickens do enjoy them! The freezer is a fun idea.
I think in the long run you'll get poisoned.
Pro tip: You can also put a pale of soapy water right under the trap and it will catch all the ones that fall off the outside of the trap.
Good stuff. This is the first year I’ve hand such an infestation , and within days a week at the most 25% of my garden was being eaten away. They were on everything, especially younger trees and plants. Including wisteria, nectarine and peach trees, and nearly everything except the Hydragena which they normally love. My lawn looks yellow and I’m convinced it’s all related. I put mine together in the house walked out the the garden and they were all over me immediately. So thanks for this. I took this infestation very personally!
i take my infestation personally too. They will pay.
Do you place this by where they are going in the garden or away from it?
@@NREngerthe spectracide instructions say put away from it 30 feet downwind
Says if you put it too close to your garden it will just attract them TO the garden
I've used the Spectracide version for around 20 years and it's very effective. I'll be honest, I didn't know there was another bag trap, I'll have to give it a try.
These male Japanese beetle traps remind me of the parties I used to attend in my teens & 20s. You show up, hoping to see a bunch of single, unattached "females", and instead, you arrive at a damn "sausage festival."
Just like going to a ******RUSH****** Concert...LMAO
Just set up our spectracide bag today and it is working well thanks for the review! These bugs are all over our garden.
As we have chickens we do reap the benefits of this trap. Seth drops them off each day. we have a challenge for the chickens to see how many they can eat in a 5 min. we will show the feeding frenzy soon.. thanks Seth..
We've used japanese beetle traps in the past - have saved our crops quite a few times !!
I've always used the Spectracide product because that was what I saw locally and we had great results. Thank you for this reminder! We had yet to get ours for our gardens... keyword YET! Just ordered three from your Amazon link. 😎👍
After a week the bonide has way outperformed the spectracide. I might get 100 in Spec for every 200+ in bonide. The raspberrys have way wat less beetles after a week. It's great!
I never had a problem with Japanese beetles until this year and one day I went out to the Garden after a 3-day absence and there was about 30 adults.
I just purchased a spectracide so I'm hoping I got ahead of their mating and breeding.
Do you have any tips personally
Thanks for posting this - very helpful.
I wasn't sure how to even put the trap together as I'm a visual learner. You made it so easy. Thank you!
Just got the bonide trap today and have 7 beetles in about 5 mins. I wish we would’ve gotten them sooner but it did come with two bags and two scent packages. So maybe in the spring next year we can save our flowering plums. Thanks again for the review
Ever since my community was treated with milky spore the beetle problem is nonexistent. 🦀
Great information! Thank you.
The Spectracide worked very well for me a couple of years ago
The Beetle Bagger works more effectively I've noticed compared to the Spectracide bags and you can actually see how many you've caught.
Thank you for sharing! This helps a lot :)
Blue dawn dish soap( @2 tblsp +/-) + water + 3 squirts( handheld style spray bottle)= dead beetle.some almost rt away but most within a few minutes. Be careful how low u go or bring the bags in at night,some critter tore mine down and ripped th bag open.
You mite consider chickens to clean them beetles up! LOL. Good test!
HI PUT A SPOON FULL OF 7-DUST IN THE BAG AFTER SETING UP THE TRAP , IT WILL KILL THE BUGS IN THE BAG. THAT WAY THEY WILL NOT GET OUT AT ALL. IT WORKED FOR US.
You are supposed to put something heavy in the bag. It helps keep the neck open.
Small rocks
Some have dual sex/food attractant, may be the two Bonide uses. I’ll have to get my hands on some as they’re helping themselves to our plants. Thanks for sharing
🤔 one thing that's overlooked... beside ornamental and plants, it's the yard itself. There are MANY MANY MANY more under ground then above!!!! Grass dying in patches that just keep getting bigger and bigger or the whole yard is just brown is the result of the Japanese beetle grub,, they are eating away at roots!! All plant roots, And watering the yard to keep the grass and plants growing is just helping these grubs to survive. They spend most of there life underground then above. Years ago I had enough and I soaked my yard with herbicides at night the next evening there were hundreds of thousands of grubs that came to the surface and died, no Exaggeration!, .and the stink as they decade wasn't pleasant!! But no need to do this if your willing to keep alot of bags out every year for several year till the life cycle of the Japanese Beatles is broken, then a few bags will do every year.. In other words you have to get to the root of the problem.....one Beatle = MANY grubs offsprings.. and they eat and live much more under ground then above....oh,, and yes you will attract the Beatles from your surroundings, ie neighbors who don't give a sh!t, or that are clueless.. but it has worked and still working for me. In the beginning I was filling up bags daily, it finally tapered off after the first year. But now after a few years I might get a half bag of only two bags I put out.. it's the price you have to pay. But it's not really all that expensive...and kinda fun to be killing these invasive BASTARDS of a pest...
milky spore works as lawn treatment they eat these during larva stage
look into milky spore it takes out the beetles before they emerge from the ground.
oh, and they sell it on Amazon so you can get your referral money.
Thank you. Looks like September and October are the best times to apply here. I will check it out.
The first one I bought it work great! They have one that has a hard plastic container. I don’t like the idea that i have to buy more bags.
I saw someone put the lure on the top of a trash can with a hole cut out of it. You might want to try that and save money on bags.
They make perfect gifts for your neighbors! hint-hint...
Or if you're having issues with hoa..... **Dons a halo**
@@Tmhjr_Baskar Gift them bug zappers too
Excellent tutorial, thank you!! Question - once the bag is full how are you actually killing them?
two ways this year. My neighbors chickens love them. Or the fish in the pond just down from the house.
our Japanese beetles are one to one and a half inches long a good fat cigar in body mass and when flying they are about 2 1\2 inches around and their legs are 3\4 to 1 inch long very stickery very big mandables and a metallic belly a green back with gold outlined around back which is matte finished but body is metallic green very very metallic..and they are clumsy but fast
that is bigger than a japanese beetle, maybe a june bug
I was wondering how to empty the bag without them all get away. It says you can reuse the bag. do i step on the bag to crush them and then empty.
Good if you live out in the middle of nowhere. In a close community, you'll attract them from all over.
What brand is the green bag? When full like that dip in hot water with liquid dish soap and salt too kill them. When dead dump out &smash them. Then start over.
How do dispose of the beetles can bag be reused? Good video
If you live within 5 miles of a highway, throw the lure nearby, much more effective way of getting rid of these.
Your buddy Josh at Stoney Ridge says the key is to be downwind. Main reason your trap on the stake is working. Not sure it has much to do with sun or placing on tree. He places his trap on tree branch Spectracide but makes sure the trap is downwind. He posted a video in June 2020.
Yes! I watched his video. I moved the two brands all around and the Bonide outperforms the spectracide almost by double. Nonetheless the traps are really helping to reduce the beetles in the garden.
The wind doesnt always blow from the same direction, so just put them all over the place and see what happens
So which one is the winner? You said "this one is the winner" without giving the specific name. It is hard to tell by the end of the video which was which! They both look so similiar that it is hard to tell the name brand.
Use a skinny wire to hang the bag so the beetles have only one option to land and that’s the bag.
First time I have these beetles. Didn't know. I thought it was damage due to a huge storm. Now I know. I think they go underground to lay their eggs?
A little diatomaceous earth would help if you put a teaspoon in the bags
The heat gets to these really fast. I need to sprinkle milk spores to the soil this October.
Whats the brand of the winnwe?
Within about 2 hours our badges completely full and had fallen to the ground
Thanks for the video. Why do the beetles fall into the bag? And does the bait kill them? It seems that it does and they die in the bag.
The bait seems to release a hormone
It makes the beetles go crazy because it's some sex hormone
So you notice any reduction in beetles on your garden?
Actually yes. Much less damage to the sunflowers. My neighbors are having an awful time with the Beetles and they do not use traps
Will yhese things catch stink bugs or leaf footed bugs?
Almost exclusively japanese beetles
Good chicken food
how long does it take for beetles to die in the trap?
Typically over night or on a hot day.
your kept saying "this one" and "that one". I found it difficult to follow which one you were talking about. And you did not name the one you liked best. I could see the picture, but what is the brand?
@L. Montague You might want to watch it again a second time. I did and he made it clear which is which and which one is the winner: Bonide.
I'm confused. Why do the beetles fall in ( they can fly/have wings) and why dont they crawl out or fly out (again, they can fly/have wings)?
They do have wings and can fly. The bag is very slippery and tapers down to a point so can't climb out or fly out
@@LandtoHouse oh! That makes sense 😁👍
I dont like the shape of the slippery bags. I wish the bottle neck area had a way to keep it more open.
@@gemofthewoods5802 little rocks in bottom of bag helps keep the neck more open someone said
@@artbyrobot1 that sounds like a really good solution! Thanks for mentioning it.
Thanks these damm beetles destroying my banana trees
They are a true pest.
Will chickens or frogs eat the beetles?
I took several bags to my neighbor and his chickens loved them.
@@LandtoHouse Awesome!
Didn't follow directions for either one!! How can you do an honest comparison. LOL
Um what? $75 shipping to canada?
Wow that is ridiculous!
Yikes
When they get full they start to get rancid, person south to me has one and i get the joys of smelling the stinch, what should i do? This person does not associate with me due to previous bs crap they have done that i called out on to them.
I like to either feed the fish in the pond or the neighbors chickens. Change them out every other day.
I use the safer brand and I picked up around 1/2 pound within 30 min.
beetle traps attract beetles from up to 5 miles away. You are doing nothing but bringing more in.
that would help people around you in a 5 mile radius which is not doing nothing but benefitting everyone and reducing the local population for everyone and will eventually eliminate them all locally if you persist.
