I'm catching a lot of beetles.
Some are attracted to marigolds in another part of my yard.

You don't want to end up on NBCNEWS as a BEETLE RACIST.
I'm catching a few hundred beetles each day.
I went to the hardware store to buy more beetle bait. They had sold out!!!

I'm still catching hundreds of Japanese Beetles every day.
I haven't caught a Japanese Beetle for two weeks. It it time to take down the traps and put them away until next summer.
