RE: Nurserysman Conf

"Aint" it the truth!  When we put up JB traps, the bag is FULL in 24 hours,
so we end up dumping them into water to drown them before the traps go up.
Still, it does seem a little better when we trap them (in terms of numbers I
find on my Rose of Sharon shrubs and in my roses.)

Oddly enough, I haven't seen any on our boysenberries.

Blessings,

JB's love raspberries so I see them periodically...one year was
particularly bad.  I found the best method was to just hand pick and kill. 
Each year that I have done that they seem to be diminished the next. 
Trapping just brings them in from your neighbor's yard.
