I realize this was written in 2012, but looking back on my "critter battles" this summer I now wish I had tried a couple of these. Slugs were especially bad here this summer, and Japanese Beetles and Rose Chafers only added to my misery. You can bet I'll be using some of Ninna's 'recipes' next year! Here is a picture of one of my most hated bugs- the Japanese Beetle! Thanks Sharon for a very good article (and reminder).
