Japanese Beetle
My back yard has been infested by these beetles and are attacking my peach tree and roses. I HAVE to get rid of them. I'm not opposed to doing it in a non-harmful way but they are winning the battle and I'm about reading to lose my fruit and flowers. Any advice would be extremely helpful!
