There is hope against these invasive species! My vines, particularly my grapevine, were being skeletonized. There was nearly no vines at all to speak of, & the grapes were awful because they were deprived of nutrition.
Last year, I killed about one thousand all throughout the warm months. Some I squished, but I used the ‘picking’ method of pushing them into a shallow dish of soapy water. Mornings, & evenings are best when they’re less active. I would collect fifty a day sometimes. This year so far, I have killed fifty-one total. My vines look healthy, & great!
I’m in Kanata South~Glen Cairn.
A female Japanese beetle typically lays about fifty eggs in her lifetime , so each one removed makes an huge impact to our ecosystem.
