Hello ÃÛÌÒÁµÈË Staff,
-Thanks a lot for ur great info. Today I checked my MG plants; many of them were massacred from stems (near or above ground), leaves cut from its far-end stem (=> a lot of leaves on the ground),... I was almost crying, especially with so many hours, energy, & effort I put to move them (hurt my back & legs...); & now I even feel guilty to cause their death & suffering because I moved them. They didn't have this problem at all when they were in the west side, which is ~20 feet from north side. Do these insects avoid sunny & hot area (like my west side), & more attracted to shady & damp & cooler area (like my north side)?
-I'm going to check for Japanese beetles, as you suggested at dusk or early AM, although I've never seen them there during the day. I read your great page about Japanese beetles control. Do you think the water+dishwashing detergent+alcohol solution would be OK?
Thanks a lot again.
