What is the best, safe thing to spray roses and other plants with to repel Japanese Beetles?

I don't see any point in spraying them with poison as long as there will be more coming back to replace them all the time. I want something to keep them away!

A systemic food for roses. It feeds while it propels unwanted pests. It is easy to use , work it slightly in the soil and water it in. You can use it on any almost anything except vegi's.


It last for about 2 weeks depending on how much you water. I do not have Japanese. beetles here, but I have many other invited guests, and this sure works well.It does not harm beneficial insects like a spray would. You can but it at any home and garden store or ask a clerk for help. Fertilome makes a good one but there are many brands.


Good luck and God bless

Reply:Use Sevin dust. Not very toxic to people or animals but gets rid of the Japanese Beetles.





Those beetle traps just bring your neighbors beetles over to you.





To use Sevin dust cut the leg off an old pair of panty hose, put about four inches of the dust in the toe and knot the top. When you get over the plant give a yank on the knot and a little cloud of dust will engulf the plant.
Reply:Go to your local convenience store and buy some chewing tobacco. Put the whole pack in a gallon of water. Let ot sit in the water for 2 or 3 days, and then strain out the tpbacco. You can dilute this and use 25% mixture. Use a quart sized hand sprayer to spray your plants. It will work on ALL plants including gardens. You will be amazed at how well it repels and kills insects. You will have to re-apply after it rains. Works better than SEVAN dust because you can still enjoy the colors of the flowers.
Reply:Spraying with soapy water is organic, doesn't hurt the plants, and takes the wax off the bugs' shells, killing them.
Reply:there are a lot of safe things you can use that will keep them away............check any store that has a garden department, walmart, kmart, etc. seven is one of the best!
