Try, 2tbs homedefence concentrate,2tbs Bt mixed together,
every 3 weeks, SVB's all gone for the last 3 years!
Used to see 20 or 30 or more. It won't harm your plants at
all. Mix them together with 1 gallon of water, drench the
whole plant,homdepot sells both,well they do in
Niagarafalls N.Y.

Traps just seem to draw more to your patch,like the Japan
beetles.

They work great! I dont understand the drawing more to patch thinking! then set them out by the back 40 & kill them there!!The traps work Great over 150 in 1 trap this year! that means over 2000 I wont have next year!Im ordering more to put on the back 40!!

still have to spray, but i set mine out early by end of June and left them out all season, they have been busy traps. my only fear was, are they going just in the traps or are they attacking plant as well. that jury is still out, still had them on my plants, but not near as bad as previous years...
