Japanese Beetles are the adult of the "grubs" in your lawn.
Milky Spore is the "organic" solution to long term control of Japanese Beetles, as it helps control the grubs.
Roses and Crepe Myrtles are some of their favorite foods, although they
also like beans and apple trees.
Sevin does wonders in controlling these critters. You can also hand pick or capture in a jar.
If you do go the "bag trap" route, buy them for your neighbors. That way you won't end up attracting more to your yard.
