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

I spray spinosad once every 7 to 10 days on the top and bottom of leaves. Do it a half hour before it's completely dark so you don't spray any bees.

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

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.
