Safer's Japanese beetle bait
Safer's Japanese beetle bait is designed to specifically target Popillia japonica populations during their peak activity period. Formulated with natural attractants, this bait effectively lures adults to a collection point away from the plants you wish to protect. It is used in conjunction with a suitable trap to minimize damage to foliage, fruit, and roots.
This product works by attracting insects through a combination of sex pheromones and floral kairomones. It is part of an integrated pest management approach that is environmentally friendly and has no direct impact on beneficial garden insects.
Place the bait in a Japanese beetle trap, approximately 10 meters from the areas to be protected. Replace the bait every 3 to 4 weeks or as soon as the trap is full. Do not place the trap directly in infested flowerbeds to avoid attracting more beetles to susceptible plants.
Plants concerned
- Roses
- Vines
