The Community Garden has an infestation of these Japanese Beetles this year! I tried to buy the 'lure traps' but it seems that these have been banned from California (and some other states). So, what do we do? After doing some research - I discovered you can make your own beetle traps and they are an organic solution (and FREE!) You know I like FREE!!

The key is to use fermented fruit. I used figs (had some in the fridge) and peaches because my neighbor complained to me that he's never gotten to eat a peach of his peach tree because the beetles get to them first.

So here's how you do it. Hope you enjoy this video.
