Hi Andy:
. . .get rid of the traps. . .at least that's what the extension guy told me. . .
we went to a field day at a University of Illinois test plot and one of the presenters said that japanese beatle traps (with pheremones?) attract your neighbor's beatle population. . .so if you don't want to increase the numbers around your place get your neighbor to put in the traps. . .the guy said a barrel full of beatles over a short time period wasn't unusual . . . we've got them too. . .so far they just eat my fruit trees and the pin oaks. . .i'd be interested in organic controls as well !

Hi,
I'm looking for approved organic controls for Japanese Beetles. I put
in a fair number of traps on the farm perimeter this season which have
been catching lots of beetles, but found beetles in my Japanese Plums
today. I harvested the first variety without any beetle damage, but
when I checked today almost every plum in the first variety which had
been missed - we finished the pick at dusk - had Japanese Beetle
damage. I have two more varieties which still need to ripen and haven't
been attacked yet. Any suggestions for controlling the beetles?
Thanks,
Andy
