When I lived outside of Philadelphia, I had Japanese beetles eating my roses. I went to a local nursery and bought a kit with pheromones that attracted the beetles to an hourglass shaped plastic bag and trapped them there. Within a half hour of putting the trap up, it had completely filled up! So I emptied them into a zipper plastic bag and set it up again, but within a week or so, I didn't find anymore of them. Probably trapped every one in the neighborhood! I thought this was a nice way to get them out of my yard. I'll never forget how weird the bag looked, with all of these beetles scrambling around in it!
