Where could one get the top for the trap? We had a bad infestation on our crepe myrtles last year. I would be interested in making a floating trap on the pond, where the trapped beetles would drop into the water.
John you read my mind.
that was the first thing that came to my mind too,, I took the regular traps with the bags on them and cut the bottom of the bag off and taped it to the top of a 4ft section of PVC pipe with a pipe cap on the bottom with a few small holes drilled in it for rain drainage, worked like a million dollars, filled up that 4ft stick of pipe with them. that was in my yard tho, but I see no reason why a person couldn't mount that whole thing over a floating innertube or something that would let them drop right out the bottom into the water.
That being said, we have not got anywhere near the infestation we had a couple yrs ago, maybe it was a drier summer.
