i totally disagree with all these unversity entomologists about controlling
them one CHEMICAL spray or another. the method is use is squishing them
between forefinger and thumb, dumping them into jars filled with soapy
water, or using the direct spray on the hose controller. also, the "rose
chafer attachment" placed upon japanese beetles traps may work IF your yard
is large enough to place the traps far away from your plants {roses, grapes,
linden-Tilia trees, willows, beech-Fagus trees, Filipendula, asparagus
ferns, etc ...these are SOME of the plants and trees i've had defoliated by
rose chafers before they were identified for me and my whole household turns
out with jars of water and willing fingers to squish, drown and suffocate
'em} so...if you have any of the above plants AND MORE....and you have a
smallish yard...DO NOT USE THE JAPANESE BEETLE traps with or without rose
chafer attachments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
