Save Your Garden Sprays
Try Neem oil concentrate and mix 2 T with a gallon of water, spray it all the leaves. This will keep them away because they do not like the taste. It's not poisonous.
The soap and water spray will control the adults. But you have to kill the grub cycle to start to control the beetle cycle. The beetles lay their eggs in the soil where the form grubs, pupate and emerge as beetle. you have to use a pre emergent chemical to really control the population and by the way Skunks main diet is grubs!
