Thank You!!! I was going crazy trying to figure this out because I had 2 traps and only one had been eaten like yours. One in the front yard and one in the backyard. So did you put holes in the jug to drain water?Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09521391888049348620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489596100395140547.post-50207994422421014782016-08-11T09:31:18.935-04:002016-08-11T09:31:18.935-04:00We have not had beetles this year for some reason,...We have not had beetles this year for some reason, so we didn't put any bags out. Have not seen any coons either, but a neighbor has corn in their garden which probably keeps the raccoons busy on his property instead of ours.
