I've heard you can reduce Japanese beetle and other ground breeding insect pests by using milky spore disease.  It won't do anything to the adults but it infects and kills the larvae which live in the ground.  It takes a few years to really get the soil inoculated so its no fast solution and they can fly in so its only part of the solution but once established it is semi permanant.  After the populations are reduced it should be easier to control the ones that fly in.  I plan to start breeding the stuff in compost piles.
