Hey, Seedrat -
Yesterday was a big day for JBs - I think I caught 8. I thought they'd start winding down by now but here they got a later start. Still not as many as the past couple of years and they don't seem as vigorous. Not a lot of flying and easily caught. Wouldn't you know that I'm getting a good second flush of roses - usually don't get that many most years - and that's where the JBs are now targeting.
I did hear about a new BT product that works on Japanese beetles - I think its Btk (nicknamed Beetlejuice). Haven't checked into it yet but that might be the next step since some studies have shown that milky spore doesn't work as well anymore on JB larva (read it here on ATP).
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we can't eat money. Cree proverb
