For some reason these bugs are attracted to the color yellow.The yellow sticky traps work quite well.

Last year I wised up and made my own.Use any kind of stiff yellow paper.I've been saving those foam plates that meat comes on.Put a twig or bamboo skewer through both sides so it stands up like a sign.
Coat it with vaseline.

This has worked great for me.If your infestation is really bad. neem oil will work too.

happy bug huntin'
