When I was a little kid I recall one year we had tons of them. The chickens LOVED them!!! They were fatter then usual that year Aside from getting flock of chickens, have you checked out any organic gardening sites for natural ways to control them? Or even on Pinterest?Hello green thumbs! Wanted to know if any of you used neem oil or other natural ways to control Japanese beetle? Last year I had no problems this year horrific. I will probably buy a systemic but wanted to see if any of you guys and gals have any other idears
