Chris,
I put about 6 jugs around the patch and it caught a bunch....since I still
saw the darn moths till mid-August here in Rochester, MN....keep these jugs
out all season ;-).
(Whoever says they have a "short" season is kidding you...do not let your
guard down!)
Ok....look at my previous listing for the components to mix.
I take a plastic gallon milk carton and put a hole in it 3" x 5"...but high
enough that the components do not leak out ;-)....I leave the top on the milk
carton to help keep the rain out and try to face it away from the rain
direction...ie...to the east.
They fly into the "sweetness" and drown.
Note: a great side effect is that I caught a zillion of those little
strawberry and raspberry beetles that eat the berries. Also it does not seem
to bother the bees...
