The efficiency of three types of traps (light trap, molasses-baited trap, and hanging bucket trap offered by Sankei Chemical Co.) for the click beetle, Melanotus senilis Candèze, was compared. The light trap consistently captured less beetles than the other two types of traps. The molasses-baited trap afforded higher number of female in catch than the hanging bucket trap, although the former was inferior to the latter in total number of beetles. These two types of traps were more promising than the light trap for monitoring the adult population of M. senilis. In using hanging bucket trap, white and yellow ones were recommended because they attracted more beetles than black one.
