Trap Japanese Beetle Insect Trapping Concerns 1929 30
In 1929 about 17 000 Japanese beetle traps baited with geraniol were used by the USDA in lightly infested areas and in 1930 the number rose to 20 083. The department warns trapping should occur only where infestation is light as baited traps lure beetles from afar and could draw large numbers from neighboring properties in heavy infestations. Costs were 140 dollars per trap in 1929 and 1 63 dollars in 1430.
