Japanese Beetles - Are They The Worst Garden Pest?

[Lee]

Do prefer natural remedies to fighting garden pests. We have an early bumper crop of Japanese Beetles this year. Same as last year. The holes in my veggie leaves make them look like swiss cheese. And they have the nerve to have sex on my snap pea flowers. I bought a trap for them, this is war.

What pest are you at war with and what are you doing to win the war>

Japanese Beetles

No not here, but my first paying job, age about 5 was capturing Japanese Beetles. My father paid a penny a beetle, I thought I was rich!

Oh my gosh. My husband thought I was kidding when I told him there was an orgie on one of the zinnias!
They were just doin it! Several couples.
Then the squirrels. It's a regular lounge here lately!
We pit up a store bought beetle trap. Its already full.
