Japanese Beetle Traps are probably the most common way to get rid of Japanese beetles. Japanese Beetle traps usually work in two ways, they lure the beetles away from your plants, flowers or vegetable garden, and then they trap them. Japanese Beetle lures contain a food-floral attractant & a sex lure attractant. This attracts them away from your plants and towards the trap. The lure is so potent they will quickly leave your plants alone and head for the lure.
The trap is a pretty simple concept, it's just a bag which lets Japanese beetles in, but they cannot get out.
