The few japases bettles I see out here don't bother my I.Canna ( canna are
NOT lilies ), but I also watch out and distroy their grubs when I find them.
Their's Milky Spore which you can put on the ground which helps kill the
groubs from the JB's.

I have read that the traps actually can cause more harm than good as they

trap, you end up attracting more than you kill.


I've read that, too, but all I know from personal experience is that my
canna lilies, which were
being utterly destroyed by the beetles, are now virtually beetle-free and
the flowers actually stay
in bloom instead of being eaten away as soon as they bloom. I live in a
rural area filled with open
fields and woods, so placing traps everywhere wouldn't be feasable.
