Excerpt from Traps for the Japanese BeetleEach trap should be emptied at least every other day to avoid decomposition of the insects. When jars are employed which have no outlet in the bottom, it is also necessary to empty them after a rain, as considerable water will collect in them. The jars Should also be washed occasionally because they soon become dirty from beetle excrement. Care must be taken to keep the trap and jar free from any Odor save that of the bait, otherwise the beetle catch will be greatly diminished.After beetles have been killed they should be disposed of as Soon as possible. Whenever it is possible, burying seems to be a most satisfactory means of disposal. Burning, even with the aid of oil or kerosene, does not entirely consume a considerable quantity of beetles, and the combustion is accompanied by a disagreeable Odor. If the beetles are to be disposed of with trash they should be. Placed in a closed container unless they are carried away within a few hours after they have been killed. Beetles killed with hot water have been fed to chickens with no apparent ill effects, but the J apan ese beetle laboratory has made no attempt to determine the value of dead beetles as food for poultry.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
