Greetings,
I am so sad and frustrated! Japanese beetles have literally invaded my garden. They are eating my petunias and my impatiens. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can rid myself of these most unwanted guests? Someone told me a spray bottle of soapy water would work, but I wasn't sure because we were blowing bubbles outside once and they discolored my flowers if they landed on them.

Blessings,
Philly Farmgirl

1 head of Garlic crushed, boil in a pot of water, strain & put in a spray bottle. My Cousin swears by this. She notes that it washes off easily so has to be applied frequently + it stinks up the whole house ;-)
