They can strip the foliage off a rosebush in a day. The most readily effective solution is to use an insecticide, but poisons don't know the difference between the Japanese beetle or a ladybug or a honeybee. I'm continually concocting kitchen remedies that don't involve the use of insecticides. We really have to learn to think environmentally in all of our actions, including carelessly bringing in non native species of animal and insect life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04614116686638969278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4240652707324624619.post-58165196243958956192009-06-26T21:35:12.906-04:002009-06-26T21:35:12.906-04:00I thought they were thinking of going to metal bat...I thought they were thinking of going to metal bats anyway.

Why can't these beetles just hitch a ride to McClean, Virginia and go after that blockhead Dick Cheney.<br />Best,<br />MartyMartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696228344180197628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4240652707324624619.post-74264974836728229262009-06-26T19:33:01.089-04:002009-06-26T19:33:01.089-04:00No, not the Louisville Slugger?!

The advice in the article is exactly right--people should not transport their own firewood, which can easily spread the insect to new areas.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149068921334726430noreply@blogger.com
