HI Elizabeth. we are getting pretty late in the season to try to control Japanese beetles. its best done when they first appear. here is info on control measures. http://urbanext.illinois.edu/bugreview/japanesebeetle.html the good news is they generally do not kill the plant even though it looks dire. good luck, sandy
