Here's one way to deal with Japanese beetles--get a small bucket, fill
partially with water, and add a good squirt or two of liquid soap. The type
of soap is not important, it serves to break the surface tension of the
water. Then go in the garden early in the morning and again late in the
afternoon, when the beetles are a bit sluggish, knock them off the leaves,
and let them fall into the bucket. They will drown and you can dispose of
them as you see fit.


It might be quicker to just use a small shop vac. Get a voltage converter so
you can run it off your garden tractor's battery. We have serious problem
here in Ohio with Asian beetles. They look like dull orange lady bugs.
