Re: Japanese beetles - RESCUE Trap

**H*@aol.com**

Just some words of caution....this is a pheromone trap and  while the 
product information says 'Central attractant disperses pheromone in  all 
directions' this is a bit of a stretch.  The pheromone will generally  be carried by 
the prevailing direction of the wind.  So the down side of  these traps is 
that depending on the wind direction at any given time the trap  can 
actually draw the beetles onto your  property or into your garden  depending on 
trap placement and wind direction.  And not all the beetles  are drawn directly 
to the trap...so in some cases this trap may actually result  in more 
beetles on your property instead of less.

We stopped using this type of trap years  ago.
