If your beetles are really bad, this may not work, but I don't add anything to my beetle trap oil. When the beetles die in it, the smell of the dead beetles seems to attract other beetles. I just clean it out when it gets full of bodies.

I agree with the above post. And we have a pretty serious beetle problem here in Georgia. I think other beetles is the best attractant. I build some carpenter bee traps to put around my house. It takes forever to start catching them sometimes unless I smack one and stick it in the trap....then it's on!!!

Alrighty then- all I need is an Eat At Trap sign for those stupid little guys.
It?s also a bad problem so then what remedy do I use

About a month ago I have thrown some slimeout onto the highway for cars to crush SHB larva from a wind downed tree. The hot HWY and cars did their job. This made me think, well, Next time I am going to freeze it and put about a spoon full in each oil pan. Hope it doesn't work to good.
