Japanese Beetles

The Japanese beetles are baaacckkk…… They will devour your plants and flowers; take action now. Squish em, stomp em or put them in water with a drop of soap. Any soap will do, dish soap, liquid hand soap, whatever you have laying around. Best to pick them off earlier in the morning or at dusk, the moisture/dew is settling on their wings and makes it easier to nab the little suckers. You want to get as many as you can to bring the population down and keep the grubs out of your lawn. Also, I heard when a beetle is on your plant or flower it leaves its scent to attract more beetles to the plant.
