ABSTRACT:
A trap for sap beetles and the like has a container with side walls that diverge from a base thereof. The container has an elongated bag made of flexible plastic inserted therein. The support has a mouth with a lip surrounding said mouth and the bag has a closed end and an open end. The bag is mounted within the support so that a closed end of the bag extends downward beneath said lip in a generally U-shaped configuration. The bag is formed around the ring into the shape of a truncated cone that extends downward from the lip above the closed end. There is an opening in the bag through a center of the ring and the bag is sealed around the lip with a removable cover resting on the lip. The cover contains perforations that are large enough to permit sap beetles to pass therethrough. The closed end of the bag contains a liquid bait to attract the sap beetles. When the sap beetles enter the trap through the perforations in the cover and move past the truncated cone into the liquid bait, it is extremely unlikely that they will subsequently be able to escape from the trap. The cover can be removed and the bag containing the bait and the trapped sap beetles can be removed from the container and discarded. A new bag can then be inserted into the container and formed into the shape of a truncated cone around the ring.
