On a note!

A trap for a bear with manure allows you to reduce the number of pests on the land in one season, but does not guarantee the complete disappearance of insects. In autumn, it is necessary to loosen the soil, destroying the nests of the bear, and repeat the procedure in the spring.

Lantern with a bucket

Bears are unique insects that can dig the earth, fly, swim. In the warm season, with the onset of dusk, males begin to sing songssitting in a hole, attracting the attention of females. The latter, hearing a vibration, crawl out of the holes, rise into the air. Able to cover distances of several kilometers. Rise above the ground up to 5 m. This can be used.

The bear trap is built in May-June, during the mating season, when insects fly:

  • turn on a bright flashlight;
  • a bucket of soapy water is placed under it.

Insects fly into bright light, hit a lantern, fall into the water. They find their death. You can pick up half a bucket of pests in one night.

Banks

You need 500 ml jars. Half filled with water. They dig in throughout the garden or on separate beds at a distance of 50 cm. The neck should rise 5 mm above the soil or be completely compared with it. Check traps daily.

On a note!

Water attracts the bear very much, but if the effect is rather weak, you can try porridge bait.

Such a bear trap is the simplest, but no less effective. Additionally, other folk methods of struggle are used (using eggshell and etc.)

Soapy water

You can wait for the bear to crawl out of the hole on its own for the smell of bait, or help it with the decision on its own.

Soap solution is prepared. In the bucket of water add any soap product - powder, soap, gel for washing, etc. Find the burrows of the bear, pour water into them.

Feeling the danger, the bear will crawl out of the emergency entrance to the surface. At this point, you should chop them with a shovel, interrupting the body into 2 parts. Insects that did not have time to escape, swim out of their holes with the water already dead.

Shadow like a trap

Bears love heat, moisture, lack of light. If there is no time for the construction of traps, and you need to catch the pest urgently, proceed as follows:

  • choose a sunny plot in the garden;
  • dig a small hole;
  • watered abundantly with water;
  • cover with a sheet of plywood, iron or other suitable material.

Preparatory procedures should be done early in the morning with the first rays of the sun. When the sun rises well, it will warm the earth. Bears will climb to bask in a damp place. At about 11 a.m., carefully, silently make their way to the trap, splash a large amount of soapy water into the trap immediately or destroy it with a shovel of pests. There are other ways how to catch a bear.

On a note!

Bears are fearful creatures, sharply react to sounds. If you can’t approach silently, then you should use another option of the trap.

To enhance the effect, a poison agent is added to the porridge.The simplest option is boric acid. A substance without taste, odor, does not scare the bear away. But it will act when it enters the stomach.

Surprise dish

Can cook pea treat, with a little surprise. Any poisonous agent is diluted in water. Fit Parachute, Regent. Soak peas for a day. Scattered in traps. This option is suitable for those who do not want to bother with live insects. Dead pests will be trapped. The poison lasts for 3 hours.
