They are a shiny green color. June bugs are black aren't they?

Here is a Japanese beetle with a reference to the traps. It appears that the guidance is to not use the traps as they attract more beetles to your yard than they trap.

Japanese beetles were all over my dad's trees a few years ago. They used those bags. Had to empty them every day, but eventually the problem went away.

Good luck. They destroyed several trees in my dad's yard.

They fell from the sky somehow, someway.

The traps are actually banned by some homeowner's associations

That's what they look like. However After I mowed my yard today they seem to have moved on. Hopefully this is the case.

you can actually make a trap with a 2liter pepsi bottle also.

Milky Spore

Its expensive, but its natural and it can stay in the soil for 25 years. JB are the only thing it kills





When you spread it, do it in a small grid pattern, skipping every other 12" by 12" grid. The bacterium will spread over time when the grubs die. It causes the grubs that are laid, not to develop

Once established in your lawn, Milky Spore kills the grubs for 15 to 20 years. Each grub that dies from Milky Spore decays and releases three billion new spore. Once all of the grubs are destroyed, the spore will remain dormant but viable in the soil until new grubs come along even years later.

They came every year to my yard to chew on a nice plum tree....fought em hard and only won the battle by cutting the tree down. They did not return.
