I had Japanese beetles all over the place.

White geraniums did the trick.

Thx for that. I think I'll get a few for the greenhouse. I only saw that one...but if there's one, there's probably more.

Japanese beetles are a major problem around here. But I found a cheap and all natural sure fire trick to deal with them. Put a gallon of water, a handful of fresh chili peppers, a few dried chili peppers and some cayenne powder in a pot. (I cut the fresh ones and break open the dried ones) Bring it to a boil then simmer (with a lid on) for an hour. Cool, strain and put in a spray bottle - spray anything that is being bothered by the beetles. Works like a charms.
