I'm doing a lot better with the traps than without. 2 years ago I lost
every plum to the beetles, at least this year I harvested the first
variety.

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?
