Found a oodles on the crepe myrtle and plum trees. Previously they attacked the japanese cherry trees and golden rain tree flowers but not now. Like a moveable feast. <BR/><BR/>I love the vacuum idea! We have a "Rainbow" vac with a water dust catcher. I could just fill it with soapy water and if I would find a long enough wand, voila!! The suction may be a little hard on the tender leaves the j.beetles seem to prefer tho.Kihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576859749293959381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-1121791014127511332005-07-19T09:36:00.000-07:002005-07-19T09:36:00.000-07:00It seems the month of July has been declared Attac...It seems the month of July has been declared Attack of the Japanese Beetles--you are not alone, I am hand picking them by the minute when I am out in the garden.

Don't beetles from other from your neighbors' untreated yard get on your plants anyway?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the jam jar and Tupperware tip. Someone suggested adding soapy water to quickly dispatch the little devils though you won't be able to maneuver the jar as easily without slopping the liquid all over yourself.Kihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576859749293959381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-1121019488098892152005-07-10T11:18:00.000-07:002005-07-10T11:18:00.000-07:00Try the Milky Spore.

If you use it now you will have far fewer bettles next year.<BR/><BR/>For beetles you can reach, I get them in a jar. I put the jar under the leaf and when they pull that "bailout" trick, I quickly close the jar, shake it to stun them a little, then move on to the next cluster of bettles. Leave the jar in the sun for a few hours: no more bettle. So what if it's cruel-I just planted that raspberry bush this year, durnit.Sharon GRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07467317912222026022noreply@blogger.com
