However, here they are high in my several elm trees also and it isn't very practical to get rid of them by the slam-dunk method. I do use the traps, fairly close to the plants they are eating (NOT as per the instructions) and they do seem to help draw them away from their favorite foods. Maybe I do get some of the neighbors' beetles but I notice the damage is less when I use the traps. I feel that any dead Jb is a good Jb and one less that is going to eat my plants, regardless of where it comes from! A good technique in a small yard!

I find that collecting seed from my own garden, and from friends/neighbours gardens,(and even some public places), is a great way to get closer to nature. It also saves a lot of cash.
