I did a powdered sugar treatment the other day and placed the sticky board where the tray goes. Apparently the beetles don't like the treatment and I found a good number of them upside down on the board. Later found they were playing possum as about half of them were missing later when it warmed up. I'm thinking the wire on all bottom boards should be #6 so any beetles could be killed after treatment.Randy Emmitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10292186655869617897noreply@blogger.com
