Bug Bucket Traps

Bucket traps

"Here is an inexpensive solution for ridding the area of bugs," says Ron Stiteler of Clarksville, Florida.

"The buckets are available from dollar stores for $1.00 to $1.50. Use any old lamp fixture

with a 13-watt compact fluorescent bulb to light up the bucket. Coat it inside and out with brush

on "Tangle Trap" formula available in quart or gallon size from Gempler's Hardware.

I went through six of these this summer."

Soft, glowing light

"With photocells at the connections, you will also have soft, glowing,
(moonlight-like) outdoor light in the front and back of your house," says Stiteler.

Detergent traps

"You can also coat bleach and liquid laundry detergent containers and hang them without a
light anywhere you want to slow down being 'bugged,'" Stitleler says.
"Bright blue seems to attract the biting insects better than any other color.
