how wide of an area will this trap cover? I.e. if my garden is 800 sq ft, how many traps do I need?

I used one with great results and I own 3+ acres. Just place one trao away from your 800 sq foot garden as so you don't attract beetles to your garden. One will work but you can use two.

I probably have about 4,000 sq ft with seven fruit trees across it that were covered in beetles, and I felt that one trap covered it adequately.

One trap shoule do fine. It's important to put it "UP WIND" from the garden. The wind carries the scent to the garden area and the bugs fly to the smell. We have two for an area 4,000 sq feet. Does that help?

Grant I used the trap last year and was SHOCKED at how many 1000's of beetles were captured. My garden is 500 sq ft. I think that the efficacy of the trap has more to do with where the scent of the lure travels. If the wind was blowing away from the garden it attracted beetles from outside the garden. I would expect that if you used two traps to cover the two most prevalent winds you would get good results. I doubt that anything will keep the attractive plants bug free but any dead Japanese beetle is a good one. I don't know if the plants were helped but I felt much better emptying the trap into a large can of soapy water. ...BTW they stink when you dump out the drowned ones. Have fun!

Well first of all let me apologize for the long period of time that it took me to respond back to you.....to sufficiently evenly cover your yard you probably might need 3 bags of this stuff ...I'm no expert but this is just me thinking if you have an acre with fleas and 2 dogs

My best recollection is that the trap comes with about six paper targets which fit the trap. You need to check the product description t confirm this.

I say, about two inches wide(not 3). I would recommend to buy 'hori-hori' knife to dig and open tunnel slightly so trap can be placed.

Depends on the number of rooms you have. We have a 2-story, 2-bedroom home and bought 3 traps- one for each bedroom and then one on the main floor. Basically any room where your pets spend most of their time should have one trap. If it's a large open room, two traps in two different spots in the room might be best. Hope it works out!

I thought I read somewhere where each metered covered so many square feet. If you don't have enough to cover your entire house the rodents will Mirgrate to a room or area not covered. Found this out the hard way.

Without a doubt. During my issues I caught more than 30 of them. They just have to land one foot on it and they are done. This only applies to the larger traps. I can't vouch for the smaller traps sold in bulk packs of 60.

I'm able to cover at least 50 feet long by 20 feet wide and it can probably go further than that in both directions. I just don't have that big of a yard.

As we have no porch or patio we mounted the Dyno Trap on the far corner of our garage. The side of the garage faces the back yard. Putting the trap on the farther corned allowed us to position it toward the back of our yard which is approximately 1/2 acre or more. This position is really in a corner of the yard, closest to our garden and a small rose bed, but seems to be working very well. We are in the third week of using it and I have noticed a significant difference in the number of mosquitoes attacking us. Hopefully, you will find this information useful.

My two dogs (dobies) get within about eight feet of the wire. They get no closer, even when there's someone at the gate. I have around 1 1/2 acres surrounded by the fence. Not sure if that's what you need. The other answer addresses how large an area can be enclosed.

It covers 5000 sq. ft. I apply in the spring and it really works on my crabgrass.

For the 75-Watt - It covers a 2 square feet area. You can put this 2-4 inches away from your plants. It does not heat up, so you shouldn't have problems with the light burning your plants.

For best results I would recommend checking with the manufacturer at http://www.havahart.com/store/live-animal-traps

Hello Barry,The total length of the traps is 8" and the width is 5½". The active part of the traps, the glue part, is 7" long and 4½" wide. Hope this answers your question.Paul

I would think that four or six tubes would be plenty. I also used Terro Liquid Ant Traps, they work well.

Put out 2 traps, 1 in front & 1 in back about 30-40 feet from house. When traps were full, we replaced. It took about a month for them to get about 2 inches of dead flies.

The trap measures 32" X 10" X 12". That is the length, width, and height. I hope that helps you.
