    Thanks for the info. I will check out that website for sure.

    Today I killed 3 or 4 of the beetles flying about. But I definitely did not see as many as the other day. I also left a shoebox out with a little bit of dirty gas leftover from dumping saws.....Gonna see if there are some dead ones in there in the am.

    So you mix with sugar and water into a jar and just let them come for the sugar and die?

    you can mix with sugar or any syrup as bait or sprinkle a line on the trail they will cross , they walk in it and track it back to the nest where it dries them out. once dead the nest buddies eat them and die too. same thing roach proof power is made from boric acid. found in the laundry section of most big stores. wash your hands with a bit and see how hot it gets .
