Milky spore has made a strong reduction is the jap. beetles I deal with. But I first applied it maybe 3-4 years ago and have continued to apply it to a larger portion of the property. This is a parklike 3 acres surrounded by woodlands with beds and a kitchen garden as islands.....too much to cover the whole property with milky spore.. so I spread it around planted areas and beds in ever wider ribbons...

What are you using to control or defeat Japanese beetles in your garden?
I'm in the Upper Midwest, and the beetles have invaded with a vengeance in
the last 4-5 years.  They love roses.  Several of the 2006 AARS winners are
yellow, and I'm sure the test plants will be devoured, given past
experience.  Jap beetles prefer yellow and white roses to other colors.
I've used lures and milky spores, but nothing is ridding my patch of
paradise of the pesky critters.
