> The most effective control for Japanese Beetles is
> the insecticide
> Sevin. It must be sprayed every 4 to 5 days when the
> beetle
> infestation is severe. Beetle traps can be somewhat
> effective, however
> they should be placed 20 to 50 feet away from the
> plants that are
> being attacked. They often contain a scented lure
> to attract the
> beetles, so you want to direct them away from
> susceptible plants.
> Otherwise, the beetles will feed on the plants and
> will then be drawn
> to the traps.
