I don't know about eight, but if you are trying to go organic, one method I
saw being used in Ohio when I was on vacation was beetle bags. You mount
them on a pole or a tree limb and there is a disc attached that has horny
Japanese
beetle pheromones in it. The beetles fly in to get to the disc, fall into
the bag and
cannot get out. My dad had three of them on his property and he was having
to
empty them on a daily basis. I think he picked them up at the local Ace
hardware.
