These dickheads have been going to town on the beans, edamame and apple trees. Really bad this year. Any of y’all know of any good tips for detouring these guys? Preferably to a watery grave or something. Before I do something like use chems, these fuckers are gonna kill the trees

I don't have any tips, but I have seen these guys a lot on my mom's roses. I think they are so beautiful, even though they do cause damage lol

They say the traps actually attract the beetles to your plants but I put some of these at least 30 feet away from the garden https://www.amazon.com/Spectracide-Bag-Bug-Japanese-Beetle/dp/B01J4989TQ
Your a god, will give it a shot...

i google to see if the japanese beetle is same as junebug beetle.. had been getting lots of junebugs last month, because it was june, but they are a blessing to me, because i feed them to pet lizards.
All insect eaters LOVE them, and so they help feed wildlife also, i guess if you collect enough, could sell on ebay as feeder bugs.
