[NAFEX] Beetles eating plum leaves

I was a bit dismayed when I noticed a lot of very holey leaves on my 
young plum trees.  Worst on the Alderman plum and a bit less on the 
Superior plum.  Looking closely at the plants I noticed several greenish 
gold black beetles about as big as the tip of finger and figured that 
this is what was eating the leaves.  I knocked as many as I could find 
into a container and dispatched them...  The trees are still small 
enough to do this without much effort, but it still takes time.  Any 
suggestions?
