Man these things (Japanese Beetles)are a PITA this year!:splat
Gobbling up everything and anything in sight.
It's horrific but they are ALL OVER my Neighbors Rose Of Sharon Bushes.
I sprayed my Hibiscus so far so good.

    Nice sharp set of bad bugs.

    I really hate them, too. They are the main reason I never, never, never plant roses; a.k.a. the favorite food of Japanese Beetles.

    Have you all tried milkey spore to control them. Might need a concerted effort with a lot of the neighbors, but it can be effective at reducing their numbers.
