  Same for swatting bugs, the smell of the squished bugs can sometimes make for more bugs come along.

    I've been battling the Japanese Lady Beatles at my house every winter since we've moved in, and it's taught me so much about both of these things- and that most seo results about insect traps etc are entirely wrong about. I haven't figured out the sweetspot for attractant trap placement yet. It's not inside or attached to your camp or house. But I know that cold, dry, nonstressed deaths for those that do intrude minimizes the ultimate number that invade via that route. Don't heat them, including by cleaning then up with a standard vacuum. Interesting facts (according to me): their smell that attracts others is one of those like asparagus, that only some people seem to sense. But to me smells like burning peanut butter toast crossed with a kaolin/ clay. Also they hate vibrations/ noise and will aggressively attack and bite in retaliation.
