Japanese beetles

[Midwestnoob]

I've tried everything. Today I'm attempting the bags that I've heard Will only attract more than kill. I'm just going to give up. (not really)

The last step I took before I purchaedda bag trap was 7dust. I sprinkled the powder on my rose bush as directed where the infestation was currently at. I gently tapped the container to knock some of the powder down onto the lower leaves. All the white covered beetles flew up and off the bush. It felt like I was in a poisoned snow globe that some just tiped upside down. Alfred hitchcock The Birds anybody??

I've killed tons more than seems physically possible for such small corner of the world. Does anybody know how far they migrate or travel?

I am currently having the Japanese beetles problem too! They seem to like my Italian basil plant that I grow in a container. I just knocked them off when I saw them. I don't like those darn insects.
