You asked if there was a cure- Yes my wife bought this from Gardens Alive and it works great. As you can see I need to empty the bag - they are really bad this year. Important thing is to place the trap AWAY from your garden or fruit trees so that you draw them away.

Best thing to do with those traps, is to give them to your neighbors, offer to install them free, that way the jap beetles are attracted to their lawn, not yours!
 
We took these traps and put them in our chicken pen. Keep it two feet off the ground and cut a small hole in the bottom. The bugs fly in, fall down to the ground, and the chickens eat them like candy before they can fly away. Chickens love them. Best part is you never have to empty the things.
 
I did that one year when we had chickens. I just put the upper part of the trap in their cage; the beetles would circle around and (usually a bird would jump up and grab it out if the air. Sometimes a bug would hit the yellow trap part and fall through the hole; it was like a dinner bell, the chickens all ran to the trap and fought over the bug.
 

I figured I had it all figured, last Summer..!!

I have a 1 1/3 acre lake..so I made a device to support a Beetle trap above the water..with a hole in the bag...
WRONG....the dumb beetles will NOT fly over water to the trap...!!!

I DO agree...give those "traps" to neighbors far away...!!!!

Several weeks ago I had a few Japanese beatles.
A neighbor,house is 500 feet down the road, put
up 3 of those traps...Now, we don"t have any
beatles ! I"ll let him lure them to his land!
 
i cut a hole in the bottom of the bag and hook em up to 30 gallon plastic jugs, (glyphosate ones work good) or 5 gallon pails with the lids. just tape the bottom of the bag to a small pipe. you only need to empty em once a week.
