Japanese Beetles

They're here --and they're hungry. :burning:

Aaaaarrgghhh! Either feed them or kill them, forget those attractant traps.

Dropping the little pests into a jar of soapy water works well but it's also time comsuming.

just moved from Ohio, and I used the bag a bug from Lowes, hang it on a tree about 10 feet away and it is suprising to watch them fly right into the bag, also use ortho's viotex(sp) spray it not only kills them but also soaks into the plant and keep them away for a while, hope this helps

Aren't you risking a PETA attack with that statement???

I second the Sevin (ha! I made a funny). You just have to remember to reapply it after a good rain.

I've been using Isotox on my roses this year and it's working pretty well. I also skipped the bags and the number of beetles has been reduced to about 1/3 of what I used to get. I won't be buying those things anymore.

Although with the heat and lack of rain most of my back garden is stripped bare to the wood. Here I was worried about the beetles and "Bambi" came along and stripped the leaves off of all my rose plants and morning glories.
