Default Question about beetles and grubs

Xref: 127.0.0.1 alt.home.lawn.garden:5273

Comp,

Here is a website refernced in Moparholic's University of Arkansas article:

http://www.pueblo.gsa.gov/cic_text/h...e/jbeetle.html

It is a pretty comprehensive and from what I can tell, unbiased. It sounds
like alot of work if you want to do it right. I noticed the first plant on
their list of "Plants Susceptible to Adult Japanese Beetle Feeding" is the
American Linden. Imagine that.

I invented something, too. All my neighbors adopted it.

Instead of the bags, which fill up in an hour, I just put a bucket of
soapy water under the attractor. As soon as the idiot beetles hit or
try to land on the attractor, they fall straight down into the bucket.

Then I toss the whole mess out into the field.

Those bags of dead beetles are the most horrible stench I've ever
smelled in my life....1000 times worse than diapers.
