Nancy...
A water based pyrethrin spray with PPB as a synergist works pretty well (I
used to use Red Arrow but not sure it's still available) but it should be
used early in the day or late in the day as it degrades very quickly in sun and
heat. Sprays containing Neem are said to be effective as a repellent and
growth inhibitor. My trials last summer were inconclusive but the
first Asiatic Beetle showed up today so the Japanese Beetles can't be far
behind...though we've had a few nights at 38 degrees up in the mountains and
that's slowed them a bit this year.
