japanese beetles
 

Dear Listers,
Japanese beetles are everywhere this summer in our garden in southern ontario.
Does anyone know how to make a beetle trap for these pests?
Thanks for listening,

Forget traps. By the time they are attracted to traps they have
already chewed what they will chew. Inoculate your soil with milky
spore. That gets them in the larval stage (grubs) before they eat
everything.

Go to your local garden center and buy one, they are not expensive. They
do work. I've been using them the past 5 years. Follow the
directions. Also, put down Grub X as well to kill the larvae.

And just to add to Tom's post -- be sure that you place the
traps some distance from your plants. I hang mine from
apple trees which are about 20 feet from my Dahlia plants
(Japanese beetles really love them).
