Re: Japanese Beetles ARRRRGGG!!!
Okay, so an update. Basing my actions on the pheromone issue (as seen in Sunfish's posted article), I went out and got rid of a few of them by hand. I sprayed them with rubbing alcohol and then squished them when they fell to the ground. I saw a few more flying around, but none of them landed and continued eating the leaf they were on....so let's hope we're good. I'll have to keep an eye out, but from the sounds of it, if I keep the random few away, the rest won't come around to ravish things badly.
They already did a slight amount of damage, but nothing significant. Just bothers me to see them living the 'high life' vacationing in the tropics and promiscuously fornicating on my plants!!!
