Another TX gardener here, this trap really does help with keeping the beetles at bay. As others have mentioned we just do not have the time to wrap all the stalks and try to repel them. They are already here and there are tons of them around. Traps help take the population back to a reasonable level.

South Texas gardener. These are the real deal. We have seen more and more of these beetles in the last decade. We don't have time to mess with wrapping the plants or injecting their stalks with BT or other remedies. This is a much simpler solution if you have a real infestation.

Great beetle catching traps

sin duda es uno de los mejores productos que he probado, además que hay instrucciones en español, por si te cuestan los tecnicismos. Se agradece

Good performance of this trap

Kidding about the taste, we're not sure what that's like. Maybe ask a cucumber beetle as they love these traps. These are exactly the same as the AGBio brand traps that VivaGrow used to sell here and on Amazon but in a better package with new instructions. The lures are identical and from the same manufacturer. The sticky cards are the same size and use the same wet glue to catch these burly beetles. We saw just the lures are now sold here too which is new, we will probably buy those next time and DIY our own traps with the Vivatrap XL cards.

Love the new instructions and package. Much improved. We have been using these for more than 5 years in our 2 acre garden plot. A few wasps have been caught but no pollinators. Any yellow sticky trap will attract a number of different pests so be aware of that!

Traps arrived very fast. We have used these for years with good results.

Really, really sticky. Cucumber Beetles are pretty strong so all the glue is probably necessary. Use vegetable oil if you get some of the glue on your fingers, it's very hard to get off otherwise.
