They're terrible here in Central Iowa. Nothing seems to get rid of them. I even tried a remedy someone told me where you get a sprayer attachment on your hose, fill the jar with dawn dish soap and hose down your entire exterior of your house with it. It seemed to work for a month maybe two, but then they were back. Them and June bugs are just crazy in this area last few years. Someone even recommended to me a certain bug spray that you water your yard with, and again it seems to only work for a month or two. Please re post if you find a better remedy. Take care, and good luck.

I work as a sales rep for a wholesale nursery in southern New Jersey. The Japanese Beatles are a real problem this year and have really been affecting plants in the genus' of Prunus (Cherry) and Rosa (Rose). They hit other crops as well, but these two crops seem to be a favorite.

I was wondering where those creepy, nasty bugs were this year. I live in southwest Michigan & I haven't seen any this year.
I don't remember if it was last year or the year before but I have a shrub in my yard that is huge. It is over 6 foot tall & 5 foot wide. It sits next to my deck. I came outside to have coffee & I looked at the shrub & it was so covered with beetles that I could not SEE the shrub. I was so scared I could not move. That day we must have sprayed 6 cans of Sevin on it. The next morning there were no beetles any where in the yard. The shrub lived too.

particular, and there's a historic reason too! in basic terms look on the settlement trend of this element of the U. S.. human beings saved shifting around the lines of selection, from east to west. So southern Illinois has extra in with Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky than it does with Chicago. Divide the state by using close by accessory and take fairly southern Indiana with you once you secede, lol.

Every year I have them in Grand Rapids Michigan and as far as I know, so does the rest of Michigan.
I keep treating my plants with liquid seven that is complete with a hose end sprayer every 2 weeks or less if rains alot.
I could use the milky spore powder in my lawn to kill the grubs but they are in the whole neighborhoods lawns too and they'll keep coming to my yard and eating my plants. this year, I've only seen about 100 compared to last year 10000's
I HATE THOSE THINGS!

I live in Montana now. There are no Japanese beetles here. They were a real problem in the '60s in Connecticut when I grew up there.

Same here is So. Dak. They were terrible last year, not so bad this year. When fall comes though, that's when we usually get attacked. I hate those beetles, they bite and stink! I heard on a radio program that they were introducing a predator bug to control their population. Hope this bigger badder bug isn't worse!

Funny you ask that. I live in Southeast Michigan, and last summer there were thousands all over my house, inside and out. This year, I haven't even seen one! So a year ago I'd have told you they are terrible, this year it's like they don't even exist. :) Weird!

I lived in Ohio, and I put milky spore on my yard almost 30 years ago, and I didn't see another beetle, even tho no one else in my neighborhood treated their yard.
