[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 454000, member: 2211"] Ew, when I was a kid we had these and my dad would give my siblings and I each a can of gasoline, yes gasoline, and we'd have to pick them off and drop them into our cans! Ewwwww. Instead, you could hit up the garden center and buy some bag-a-bug things and hang them far from your trees and shrubs and eventually all the beetles will go to them. Alternatively, you could use a sprayer that attaches to your hose, fill it half way with Murphys oil soap, undiluted, and spray everything. It won't harm the plants but it will make the beetles fall off and hopefully die. Or, do both for extra assurance. Oh and in the spring, spread some grub killer, the best chemical free stuff is 'milky spore'. [/QUOTE]
