    Can anyone help get rid of Japanese beetles? We have a grape vine that is covered with them every summer, there are so many beetles it appears the branches are alive with bugs, they are stacked up 3 and 4 beetles deep. I have used various types of ortho products and nothing even touches them, it doesn't stop them at all. We tried some brand of beetle bait last summer that would lure the bugs into the plastic bags and they couldn't fly out, we had hundreds of bugs fill up the bags so we are hoping it will cut down the numbers this season. But they are already starting to crawl on the vines. Why doesn't any product work? Also the grapes start out as little balls and then just die off. Help! Susieqmoose
