    Those grubs that grow into beetles, especially the June bugs, are a pain. Used to be diazinon worked real good - spread it and water into the lawn.
    But thanks to our friendly EPA, the potency had to be seriously curtailed. I don't know what to use on them now. I'm just thankful I haven't had
    a problem with those things in a long time.
    Frying pan, a little salt and pepper.

    There is a world of difference between a Japanese Beetle and an Asian Lady Bug. The Asian Lady Bug looks like: Click image for larger version.

ID:	6632. The Asian Lady Bug was imported to help keep down the aphids while the Japanese Beetle hitch-hiked in and is a serious pest of about 200 species of plants, including rose bushes, grapes, hops, canna, crape myrtles, and others.

    I'm pretty much a lawn and garden geek, if a you get the grubs this year go to your local feed store they have 50 and 80 pound bags of cornmeal yes cornmeal the type you use in the kitchen, just throw the cornmeal the same way you would fertilizer the grub worms will eat it and in about 3 to 4 days you will see them popping up out of the grass they cannot digest the cornmeal they pretty much just blow up.
    i don't know if omas is till open or not but if she is, just go on over to her place, get a couple of bags of nematodes and you're set for a long time. i put some out over 10 years ago and it's still workin'......mac

    Also a difference between the Asian Ladybeetle and a Lady Bug.
    We've had the Asian Ladybeetle here in SE Alabama for several weeks. They will bite.
