Adult male garden chafer beetles are drawn into the chafer beetle trap by means of a pheromone attractant lure. Once the garden Chafer beetles fly to the trap, they hit the plastic vanes on top, and are funnelled down inside, where they are unable to escape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are six chafer species in the UK. The garden chafer beetle trap catches the garden chafer, \u003ci\u003ePhyllopertha horticola\u003c\/i\u003e, the species that causes most turf damage. The chafer beetle trap alerts greenkeepers and turf mangers that Garden Chafer beetles are present and that egg laying will follow. Once the adult female has laid its eggs, they will develop into chafer grubs, leading to both primary and secondary damage of turf surfaces such as; golf greens, tees, fairways and semi roughs, cricket outfields, bowling greens, sports pitches and ornamental lawns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; margin-left: 10px; float: right;\" alt=\"Damage caused by Garden Chafer Beetle\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/7359\/5435\/files\/product-description-chafer-beetle-trap-with-free-pheromone-lure-Badger-chafer-damage.jpg?v=1696861178\" class=\"mobile-fix\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePrimary Damage:\u003c\/b\u003e Chafer grubs feed on grass roots reducing the plants ability to source water and food leading to greater susceptibility to biotic (organism) and abiotic (environmental) stress.
