I had the same thing happening to me, wen...Jenny, <br /><br />I had the same thing happening to me, went to Home Depot and bought the Bag a Bug to get rid of the Japanese Beetles. Read the directions, make sure you put it away from where your garden is...sounds stupid but it really works. Augie hung that bag and it is now full of dead beetles and not one ever went back to my flowers !!!! I love simple solutions don't you??? Hope you get rid of those pesky things !Linda Behlingnoreply@blogger.com
