It
can work, for awhile. Back in the '80s when those Bag-a-Bug Japanese beetle traps first came out, we hung them everywhere. We lost all our everythings that year, and attracted every beetle for three square miles, but it was worth it in the long run, sort of. We got so many of those bastards that we used to hang 30 gallon bags under the traps. I remember changing those bags every couple of days. We must have sent several million beetles to the landfill that year.
Japanese beetles were no problem at all for about another 15 years, because we nuked so many of them in the '80s.
Unfortunately, now they're back, and they just don't respond to the traps like they used to.
Um. What did this have to do with trucking again?
