[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 454093, member: 3444"] Are there any adventurous neighborhood kids you can pay a quarter a beetle for catching the ones in your yard? Really no advice to add to what others have already posted. We get those here, too. The adults like to lay eggs in my compost piles, and in late winter/early spring I dig out the grubs (they are really, really huge and really, really gross looking) and feed them to my chickens. No grubs = no adults :) The U of Kentucky has a good page on the control of these buggers: [URL="http://www.ca.uky.edu/entomology/entfacts/ef451.asp"]http://www.ca.uky.edu/entomology/entfacts/ef451.asp [/URL] [/QUOTE]
