If I could figure out how to prepare these stupid Japanese Beetles, I
would! Even with the chickens, geese, ducks, and guineas eating them and
with me picking them off of the grape vines and dropping them in a bucket
of soapy water, I still have thousands more new ones copulating on the
leaves every morning! The traps don't seem to be working as well this year.
I think I'll leave the praying mantises alone and hope that they reproduce
enough to make a difference in the garden!
