Hello Fellow Sufferers,
Well, it's getting to be that time of the year again when the scourge known as Japaneses Beetles make themselves known. I've tried traps, real bad idea. I've tried various chemical potions, not much good. So now, it's time to use netting to keep the little bastards from getting to my plants. So I need to ask, does anyone have a source for Japaneses Beetle netting?
Thanks
Bart

Insect netting is the same as the stuff they call row cover:

I used japanese beetle traps to trap chinese rose beetles, I just made sure the traps were located on the other side of the yard from the plants I was protecting. You can try to plant trap crops like four o'clocks. It would not hurt. I plant four o'c clocks as a border but it can be invasive so unless you want a permanent planting, remove the seeds and plant them in a large container. they will also spread by tubers.
