Japanese beetles are easily knocked into a bowl of water to drown and sure
when they're at peak you have to do it every day but it still beats
poison.


This is utter bullcrap. When tried, they quickly fly away only to come back
in 10 to 15 minutes and pick up where they left off. If one or two end up in
the bowl of water you're lucky. And try that when there are hundreds of
plants involved.


Really? I've used a mason jar or mayo jar with 1/2" of water in the
bottom and a drop or two of dishwashing liquid. Maybe one out of 20
will fly away, but most will drop into the soapy water. I can easily
catch 100 beetles in less than 15 minutes. Milky spore is a complete
waste of money.
