Well, they’re back.<\/p>\n

Japanese beetles.<\/p>\n

They pretty much took over a wild rose in my front garden two years ago, and sadly they seem to have returned with a vengeance again. \u00a0I had noticed a few a couple weeks ago and then didn’t think too much about it… until yesterday when I walked out and saw that they have not only infested that same wild rose bush, but also my lovely “tiny” tree in the front of our house. \u00a0Now, the rose bush I could live without, but not my tree! \u00a0So, I got angry and sprayed bug killer all over the tree.<\/p>\n

I could see them actually dropping out of the tree and landing on the ground as I sprayed it. \u00a0It was strangely satisfying. I checked this morning and there are dozens of dead bugs under the tree and bush now. \u00a0And I’m happy to report that there are only a few visible. \u00a0I’ll have to make sure I spray it again in another week or so, but I’m pleased so far. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

See ya later, ye destructive beetles!<\/p>\n
