I read somewhere that allegedly JPs are attracted to 4-O'Clocks and will eat the leaves, which are poisonous to them, and die. Just for fun I planted pots of them and placed them near my grapevine, which they also love. I think the plants are too small yet, but I'm interested to see the results. Curious if anyone has actually tried this. Buy a live trap or two.

Bait them. After trapping rabbits, load them in your car and take them far out in the country and let go.. Wild rabbit is too much work to cook! Also, I have a new Azalea bush - do I need to be worried about her??? They don't bother my Elephant Ears or Cannas. I read somewhere that 4 O'clocks kill them - is this true?

Also they do not seem to bother my Impatients S? I hope to be getting an earlier offensive attack this year. I have bare spots in my grass around my dead tree and I think I have a mole this year!!!!!

What is your recommendation as to what to do? I don't want to kill any bees. Try something called Milky Spore. It is a little expensive, but lasts about 15 to 20 years before you have to re-apply it.

Get the powder not the granular. Powder needs to be applied only once around September. The granular needs to be applied 3 times during the application year.

You front load the cost but are done. It is a bit of a pain to put down, but well worth! Kids, pets, us, fish, birds, worms, honeybees, etc. The milky spore gets into the ground, the Japanese Beetle grub eats it on the roots, the spores multiply and POOF the grub explodes releasing even more spores!

We have done this with two properties with great results. The more grubs, the more spores. The best cycle I can think of. First year you will see a reduction of the beetles.

The next year they should pretty much be gone. If you live in a community, you may be able to talk your neighbors into applying it to their land as well. Everyone benefits. Bonus - it also gets rid of June beetle and earwig grubs as well.

Aaand, wait there's Lee Valley Woodworking Newsletter 65 more. It helps get rid of varmints like moles, skunks, raccoons, etc provided there is no other food source like the grubs. No grubs, no food. No food, no moles, skunks, etc.

We get ours from St Gabriel Organics. We have no affiliation with St Gabriel's Organics. It's just a great product. They make the milky spore. You can buy it from a vendor, but they will just get it from St Gabriel's Organics. Some of the other vendors may be less expensive. Hope this helps. I had a terrible in gestation of these little buggers!

They were living and eating my lone birch tree. Went to my local Garden Center and got the Milky Spore after talking to the garden lady who recommended it. Spread it around my tree like the directions said. That was 2 years ago. No new beetles til now. But there are very few and not in my birch tree. They are eating my hostas, which I don't mind. I hate those guys anyway! Glad to see someone was using the beetles for food for something. I have been feeding the fish in my pond with them.

They go crazy over them. I am getting tired of picking them off my beans, fruit trees and hazelnut bushes. Considering the trap method, fish would like more for sure. Ive been catching tons this year in a bag trap I loved your comment.

I like the idea of freezing them, but doesn't it stink up the freezer? Last year I worked hard at hand picking Japanese beetles. Several times each day I would go out and hand pick them. I had some Virginia ivy - 5 leaves - which the beetles loved to chew.

I would often lean into the vines to get the beetles. One evening while I was getting more beetles and leaning into the vines, I began to feel itchy. I had worn jeans, a blouse, socks and and regular shoes outside. Within 1 hour, my breast was very itchy and I took a look at myself and had to call my husband.

I don't know if what I had were welts or hives on my breast and chest. Whatever I had continued to spread down to my mid legs. My arms, private areas, face, neck, and most of my back were spared. My husband put calamine lotion on me. I sat in front of the fan and had ice packs on me. The itch was very intense. Much worse than poison ivy. After about 6 hours the itch went away. And within 12 hours of the initial manifestation of the welts or whatever, I had small red dots which didn't bother me a bit!!!!

Any idea on what caused all this?? We have 1 pin oak tree, but it is about 2 acres away and a lot of buildings and plants between where I began to feel itchy. My husband had exactly the same thing happen to him. An ancient Japanese Pull Saw Vs Push Saw oak dropped a massive branch which my husband went to clear and chop up on a warm day. Whilst there, he decided to cut back ivy climbing up the oak choking it and a silver queen holly growing beside the oak.

He leaned into the ivy, cutting, pulling, and after 1 hr of hard work perspiring, he started to itch. He was not wearing gloves and got dusty, dirty and sticky from the ivy. He felt an itch on his neck and scratched at it and rubbed the dust off his stomach where his tee-shirt had rose up. He felt so awful with intense itch, he came in to wash in cold water but the itching got very intense and where he had touched himself a vicious rash appeared and spread.

His stomach, his arms, his neck, and upper body. We used antihistamines, dabbed the areas with cotton wool balls soaked in witch hazel, and smoothered it all in calamine lotion twice a day and before bed. The itching became bearable within 3 days but continued until the rash had faded leaving him with red dots. He will be wearing gloves from now on when he has such work to do, and a face mask so he does not breathe in any spores.

This also know as Virginia Creeper. Some people are allergic to this just like poison oak and poison ivy. Last year the beetles completely stripped my beautiful ornamental plum tree.

Even though we treat our yard in the spring and fall, with Grub-X, it's of no use because neighbors don't treat. This year, due to the mild winter Virginia they are even worse than last year.

Out of desperation, we did purchase a "beetle bag". Despite the fact those bags fill up every day, my poor tree looks terrible. Every leaf is filigreed and once again badly damaged. I sure hope my tree can withstand yet another year of damage. Hopefully the beetles won't come near my tree.

There is another species of beetle, which looks like a JP on steriods. This beetle is about 3x the size of a JP, and stupid. They crash into the side of our house numerous times, before they realize they can't fly through. After over 5 years of continual Japanese Beetle assaults on my ornamental Crowder Plum, they have finally killed it.

Going to try a Redbud next. The other copper colored big beetle you are referring to, I think it's what Kansas people me! They really are dumb!!!! I had a plum tree that was just starting to produce fruit. I went out to the car one morning and seen all this black stuff all over it and looked around and my tree was completely filled with JB's. Every leave was gone. Because it was located near my septic tank and the problems the roots could cause i desided to cut it down and put grub killer down.

If you want to try to save it beause of the need for leaves to keep the roots alive you need to put grub killer around the tree and the width of the canopy of the tree.

I put just a little bleach in a bucket of water and floated one of the beetle bait lures on top of the water. I put the bucket on the ground under a trap. It is catching them! When the top is covered, I take a flower pot with holes in the bottom and scoop them out, let the water drain, then put them in a plastic bag. Good Japanese Wood Cutting Saws bye beetles.
