Some formulations of beneficial nematodes include species that prey on Japanese Beetle larvae. They are a better bet than milky spore in cooler climates. Apply them in the spring--they will find the grubs. They do not overwinter well, but they are effective enough so that a couple of years of applying them usually does the trick.

Where do you find these nematodes? Web site, catalog, garden center??
