Ivctried everything against the beetles. I mean everything. There is not a plant or tree or shrub in my yard that they do not love. It's so discouraging to find them attacking everything all day as soon as my flowers start to mature. No one mentioned it, so I will. I used the buckets of soapy water for years. Now I find it easier, faster and more effective to just slip on the gardening gloves and and starting to smash them. I pull them off and crush them and drop them. Usually, I can pick 4 or 5 at a time. I know they are dead, and I don't have to use any tools or water or soap or powder or anything. Just grab them and crush them. I'm so sick of these things I use my bare hands when my gloves aren't with me.
