"Unfortunately, research conducted at the University of Kentucky showed
that the traps attract many more beetles than are actually caught.
Consequently, susceptible plants along the flight path of the beetles
and in the vicinity of traps are likely to suffer much more damage than
if no traps are used at all."
"In most landscape situations, use of Japanese beetle traps probably
will do more harm than good. If you experiment with traps, be sure to
place them well away from gardens and landscape plants."

this was but one of many different studies where their findings were
the same.
In our study, which we chose not to publish due to reasons connected
with our funding, we determined how one out of every four Japanese beetles
attracted to the trap actually escaped the trap. Those beetles attracted
to the trap who escaped the trap laid their eggs in the nearby lawns and
created serious lawn destruction resulting from grubs.

Yup, using insect attractants to diminish the insect population is no
different from the stimulous plan that places even more debt on those who
weren't capable of handling money to begin with.

Not talking about japanese beetles and trapping them.
We're talking about flys.

in that no trap is 100% the consequential result is the same. the
destruction may be different but then that in and of itself is not
the main point...

My first time here for several years, but I will start again.
This is what I did for this subject:
I MURDERED MY ENEMY
It was a fly who flied so fast
I could not catch him when he passed.
For three whole days I hated more
Until I woke up, starting war.
And then he moved in front of me,
And zap - the hands my weapons be
Just swat him - crash onto the floor.
So now this enemy no more!
Now in my trash he is disposed,
And I'll keep doors and windows closed.
