Try trapping them. Traps can be purchased in the gardening depts of home and garden centers. This is very effective and I do it myself. It is easy. Follow the product instructions for trap placement.





Another option is to buy special insect spray for plants and spray the ones you don't want them to eat.





Since Japanese beetles were grubs before they morphed into beetles, the ultimate solution (for next season and the ones after that) is to control the grubs in your yard. It may be too late to do this for the current season but keep it in mind for next year. One such product is called "Grub-X". Or ask where you buy gardening supplies.
Reply:spray with liquid Sevin or Sevin dust.Have been doing this for last few years.I have less beetles this year.
Reply:Get some Sevin dust at the garden center in Walmart.





It is safe and effective. Dust your ferns today Beetles gone tomorrow.





If you need a duster for Sevin dust cut the leg off a pair of old pantyhose. Save the foot %26amp; about 12 inches up the leg. Put a couple cups of Sevin dust in the foot %26amp; hold by the top. Use a bouncing motion %26amp; a little cloud of dust will come out.
