Product Description
Dual Lure System Attracts Both Male & Female Beetles
Tanglefoot Japanese Beetle Replacement Lure combines both pheromone and floral attractants in one convenient package to effectively lure Japanese beetles into your trap. This dual lure system attracts both male and female beetles, providing season-long control of these destructive pests that damage over 300 types of ornamental plants, flowers, shrubs, and trees.
The floral lure mimics the scent of beetle food sources, while the pheromone (sex attractant) draws beetles away from valuable landscaping and into your trap. One dual lure bait is effective for an entire season under normal conditions, making it a cost-effective solution for protecting your lawn and garden.

How It Works:
Dual Attractant System:
Floral Lure (attracts female beetles):
Mimics the scent of plants that Japanese beetles feed on, drawing female beetles searching for food sources.
Pheromone Lure (attracts male beetles):
Contains the natural sex attractant that male beetles produce. This powerful scent can be detected from over 100 feet away, luring beetles from a wide area.
When used together, these two attractants are 2-5 times more effective than floral lures alone, providing superior Japanese beetle control.
About Japanese Beetles:
Japanese beetles (Popillia japonica) are highly destructive pests that:
- Feed on over 300 types of plants
- Measure approximately 3/8 inch long
- Have metallic green bodies with coppery brown wing covers
- "Skeletonize" leaves by eating tissue between veins
- Consume flowers, fruits, and foliage
- Are most active during warm, sunny days
- Can rapidly defoliate valuable plants
Common targets: Roses, grapes, fruit trees, vegetables, ornamental plants, shrubs, and trees.
Benefits:
Season-Long Protection:
One lure lasts the entire beetle season under normal conditions—no need for frequent replacements.
Highly Effective:
The dual lure system attracts significantly more beetles than single-lure traps, reducing damage to your valuable plants.
Universal Compatibility:
Works with most Japanese beetle trap brands, making it a versatile replacement option.
Easy to Use:
Simple peel-and-position installation requires no special tools or expertise.
Pesticide-Free:
Chemical-free attractant provides environmentally responsible pest control without harmful sprays.
Cost-Effective:
One lure treats up to 5,000 square feet for an entire season.
Maintenance:
Trap Inspection:
Check trap periodically and empty when approximately half full. Overfilled traps become less effective.
Lure Replacement:
Replace lure after 12 weeks or when floral aroma is no longer noticeable. If trap catches decline significantly while beetles are still present, replace lure.
Odor Management:
Dead beetles create odor that can lessen trap effectiveness. Empty trap regularly and kill captured beetles by immersing in soapy water.
Important Tips:
Proper Placement:
Position trap 10+ feet away from plants you want to protect. Placing too close may actually attract more beetles to vulnerable plants.
Downwind Location:
Place trap downwind of foliage to intercept beetles heading toward plants.
Multiple Traps:
For larger areas or heavy infestations, use multiple traps spaced throughout the landscape.
Remove When Beetles Are Gone:
Take down traps when beetle season ends to avoid attracting new beetles to the area.
