Bag-A-Bug KwikStand, Japanese Beetle Trap Hanger

I'm glad we purchased because we needed them, but I read it wrong. This is the stakes only - does not include bags. Works great and very sturdy. Just be sure you read it :)

The sections of rod could be improved, have them screw together instead of twist & click. Lack of sturdiness in the rods. The attraction disc provided works well in drawing the Japanese beetles in to the bag.

Amazing! These bug bags are fantastic. I was very skeptical and my husband even more so. I could see a shadow at the bottom if the bag and knew that a few bugs had been caught. My husband sprayed the rose bush that was under attack with the water hose and a cloud of Japanese beetles was in motion. They swarmed the bug bag and we watched as the seemingly fell right in. It was so quick that we had slight bottleneck. It was fascinating and a couple of hours later, the trap was weighed down with JBs.

Trying to hang up a beetle trap is a problem if you don't have enough trees or tall bushes around. The metal is very thin and as I stated, pricey for what it is. But when you need a place to hang the trap, this is convenient.

Just stand, I didn’t read add. No need for this item. Was looking for products.

This stand is a nuisance to use. It goes together simply and looks like it should work, but it's got 2 big flaws. 1) as the Bag-a-Bug bag fills with Asian Beetles the stand begins to deflect under the weight of the beetles. When the bag is half full the stand bends almost enough for the bag to reach the ground. 2) The sections of the stand assemble easily but there is no locking mechanism holding them together. That means each time you move the trap the stand disassembles itself. You'll be better off building your own stand or hanging the trap.

WOW! This year was the worst Japanese Beetle year we have seen in a long time!! Even with 40+ tea hybrid rose bushes- all with medium to strong scent- we usually go around once every, or every other day walk around knocking them into jars to feed to the chickens. (Who get very excited when they see us with the jars btw! Lol!) However this year was horrible we were actually struggling to keep the bushes in enough leaves to survive, and about 4 first year bushes were on the verge of failure! So Spectracide bags & bait were deployed. We've used them in the past, and they are THE best on the market for bait & bags. Living out in the country even though the Japanese Beetle can smell a single bush for miles we do not usually require any treatments, but get 1 neighbor who buys a planted rose bush (vs barefoot), or 6 in our case, and they inadvertently bring the beetles home with them, and bam within a couple months there's an infestation! Because we live in the country things like raccoons, and opossums like to chew on the corner of the bags to get at the beetles, because if you have never used these bags - you are not going to believe how many beetles it amasses in a day! (If like us you live in the country pull the bags up in the evening, and put back the next morning to prevent that) That being said you have to do a few common sense things like - have the bags away from your plants, so they fly to the bags, not your plants, keep bait fresh (you can reuse the bags if your good with emptying them), the bait must smell stronger/sweeter than your plants. ALSO, and here's the big one we learned after 9 of our bushes were pushed to the brink (it only takes a week, or 2) is to put some bags between your plants, and your idiot neighbors house. It keeps them from ever getting to your bushes in the first place. **We DO recommend this product as experienced hybrid tea rose growers. AND in case you're wondering there are also other steps you can take. Taking the time to talk to your local extension office, or state horticulturist can give you heaps of information about other steps you should take depending on your specific area.

I had some Japanese Beatles and wasn't sure how to get rid of them and I found this product on Amazon and I gave it a try. It trapped the Beatles and bagged them in a disposable bag and it worked as advertised. That was about 5 years ago and I haven't had any Japanese Beatles since and now my plants are healthy.
