Came home with a friend today and she said wow I love roses. Then she says look a rose bug, I use to play with these when I was a kid. I had never seen a rose bug so I looked at what she was talking about. She must have heard me gasp cuz she said what's wrong. I mashed the bas$!@# and frantically started searching the whole front yard telling her to find more.
I have never had them or been able to find one. I only scanned your forums about them briefly as I didn't have to worry about them.
She found the first one which was fairly big and was a green chrome looking thing. I found a second one that was smaller and was a brown chrome looking beetle. I couldn't find anymore.
I looked them up and yes they are japanese beetles. I've been watching the forums and a lot of folks have said there was a lot this year but I have never had them.
Why would I get them so late??? It has been raining here for four days now and it is 61 degrees. What gives.
I will start reading all I can on here to get rid of these things but any quick tips for me from you guys that have had them. Are there more lurking, waiting to come out from where ever they came from.
I don't really want to start spraying chemicals like a madman. I used up my last case of final net hairspray & butane lighters spraying slugs.
HELP please. I don't want to spend all night scanning the web and I want to get rid of those things first sign of daylight.
Thank you.
Joel.
