Water is a chemical...a very bad chemical. Stay away from water.

we really have to wash the crops we bought from the market before consuming it. Farmers get rid of this pest through pesticides and chemical a like..

I have a black pussy willow shrub near the back of my yard.The JB cover this shrub. I mean really thick.I go out periodically early in morning. Around 7 oclock ( in Michigan ). They are very groggy.I lay down plasticAround the shrub and spray it with a water , soap. a little dormant oil spray.They drop down on the plastic and die. Start spraying at top and work down. It absolutely works. I assume the willow is loaded with water hence , juicier therefore more attractive to JB.

this is some useful info thanks. some Jap Beetles are attacking the Jap Cherry Blossom tree that we had planet back in March and have already eatin several of it's leaves. I just hope the traps that we set 40-50ft away will do the trick.
