where do japaneese beetles come from?
Answers:
Japan. No seriously they start out as grubs that look like white worms. When they reproduce in the fall the grubs live in the dirt under your lawn or garden bed and feed on the roots. If you know where you have grubs you can get Tectricide to kill them. If not you will have to try and kill them after they become beetles with sprays. Do not use traps since they just attract more of them.
