Chafer beetle traps are an essential tool for monitoring Chafer Grub larvae that damage lawns by eating the roots of grass. These grubs can leave turf yellow, weak, and spongy underfoot, with birds and mammals often causing further harm by digging for them.Using a chafer beetle trap helps identify early signs of Chafer Grub activity and reduces the number of egg-laying adults in your garden. Chafer Beetle Trap for Monitoring Lawn Damage The chafer beetle trap is designed to catch adult beetles, helping to reveal whether Chafer Grubs are present before major lawn damage occurs.By monitoring the insects caught in the trap, you can plan lawn treatments such as nematodes with greater accuracy. This early warning system is key to limiting Chafer Grub problems from autumn through spring. Chafer Beetle Trap with Strong Attractant Lure Each chafer beetle trap comes with a powerful attractant lure that draws both male and female beetles. The beetles are attracted by the top vanes of the trap, collide with them, and drop into the funnel below. Unlike pheromone lures which only attract males, this attractant increases the number of beetles caught and helps reduce local breeding populations. We also sell Chafer Grub Nematodes.
