I also had good luck with Milky spore. I put it down about 7 years ago, and still have very few japanese beetles. I think most of my neighbors treat their grass with grub-X or similar, though, and I'm sure that helps, too.

We used to get Japanese beetles on the Linden tree out front of my parents house. They would completely defoliate the tree. My mother tried traps and other stuff, then about fifteen years ago she used milky spore, an organic treatment, and the one application worked for almost fifteen years. Recently she said they started appearing again. Milky spore is a bacteria that infects the grubs and prevents them from becoming adults. This was in northern Ohio and some people say it doesn't work everywhere. You might try it though. It's better than having to spray sevin every year.

>The Japanese beetles are bad this year and are really chewing up the leaves on some young cherry trees. I was considering knocking them off and then covering the trees with Reemay (floating row cover) and putting a band around the trunks to keep it closed. These are one and two year old trees. Is this a good idea? I was a little concerned that the Reemay would damage the leaves from friction...
