Yep, but it's the lure, I think, that makes it work for cucumber beetles. The trap itself could be re-coated and last for years, but the lure has a finite life - especially outdoors.

Did you know that you can buy a can of the Tanglefoot and make your own sticky traps?  I used a bunch of yellow folders I had, cut them in half, put them inside plastic sleeves and spread the sticky stuff with a toothbrush.  It is messy, yes, but very cheap and you can afford then to make lots of them!  I stick them over top of a reinforcement rod stuck into the ground and it really does help to have them at enough intervals and at the level of the plants more or less.
