[QUOTE="Maddog, post: 225614, member: 5355"] Thanks for all the info guys. I talked with 2 different Ag guys that do that work for a living. Both said to NOT use the beetle traps as you will attract beetles by the THOUSANDS to your property. So far I am spraying with a mixture of dawn dish soap, canola oil and water. Also setting up a couple of spare sheets on the ground and then shaking the trees (early morning and evening) Grabbing the beetles that have dropped and placing them in a pail of soapy water. I don't wish these bugs on anyone. [ATTACH=CONFIG]26398._xfImport[/ATTACH] This is the first year we have had them. And the first I saw any was a couple of days ago. One day "there was nothing" the next day there were hundreds swarming around my basswood trees. I live in a sub division. I have 2 different neighbors in sight that also have basswood trees. I inspected their trees and they have NONE. why me? HA HA [/QUOTE]
