DoubleDD Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Has anyone experimented with beetle traps in their humidors? Kind of like an insurance policy just in case the forbidden insect should appear when it is unattended. I spend weeks away at a time and would hate to return to total destruction. I found these while browsing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUBANO Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Local B&M has them on the floor of their walk-in humidor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxman Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Never seen them before. I keep my temp under 65 degrees and over the last 5 or 6 years have not had a problem. Knock on wood. In a smaller set up I would be concerned that they may taint my cigars as I sure there are chemicals in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallclub Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 These are superfluous for a personnal collection. They trap ADULT beetles. They won't do anything against eggs hatching inside your cigars, and larvae eating them… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 What do they use to attract the beetles? I'm hoping teeny weeny cigars, rolled just the right size for a beetle to enjoy after all these years of having to suffer through huge ring gauge cigars that made all the regular beetles laugh at him because it looked like he was fellating a well-hung grasshopper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarveyBoulevard Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I use teeny tiny mouse traps. Never caught anything but just in case, I'm ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
