Japanese beetles

6 months ago

I'm ready for these insects to go away for the season.


Does anyone have effective deterrents?


I've tried a garlic spray and also a neem oil spray with a bit of deterrence.


Yesterday I tried wintergreen oil. The Japanese beetles absolutely didn't like it but it immediately turned some of the blackberry leaves brown. I thought I mixed it up dilute enough. I will try again with a thinner mix.
