Re: spraying for bugs, etc. when and what

The bags work great. We had an infestation a few years ago and filled several bags. 

After they hatch they lay eggs underground which become grubs. Late July is a good time for grubex on your yard.  Milky spore works great too but takes 2-3 years to mature.

Within 3 hours after I hung it up, the bag was over 1/3 full of beetles, estimating well over 100 beetles in the trap.  If I could only get my neighbor's to hang the traps.  It's worth a try.
