Lucy and others have posted about using plastic bottles coated with Tanglefoot. It may be that the warmth of these water-filled bottles attracts the flea beetles but I also know that flea beetles are attracted to things that are white. I used white plastic bottles coated with Tanglefoot back in my home gardening days. As Amy suggested, at a farm scale it probably makes sense to buy ready-made sticky traps. I would recommend white over yellow, however.
