How do I get rid of Japanese beetles?

DO NOT get the beetle traps! They will draw in the beetles from your yard and the beetles from the entire surrounding neighborhood. Then they STINK and even if you wrap them up and stuff them down inside the garbage can you can smell them.

Sevin dust works great on Japanese beetles. You can hear their nasty little bodies snap and crack while they die. BWAAAHAAHAAA!

But my friend swears by good old flour. She sprinkles it over them through a sifter and apparently it causes them to dehydrate. I've had fair success with her method, and it's more environmentally friendly than the Sevin.

A little tip I learned growing up which seems to work everywhere I have gardened which includes Idaho to New Hampshire is tobacco tea. Get a bag of Red Man or other similar chewing tobacco. Put its contents in a quart jar.

Fill will boiling water and put the lid on it. Let it steep for a full 24 hours. Put the liquid in a squirt bottle and spray around the base of your plants.

You will see result in a couple of days for almost every insect that effects your garden.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
