   The  folks who sell Plum Curcullio traps say to paint the boles of trees 
white so the dastardly critters don't recognize the trees as being trees. 
The trap sets atop a black stand that they think(?) is a tree.  I'm going to 
try it and I wonder....................for those of you who don't trap them, 
would painting your bole white prevent, or curb damage.  Worth a try?
