I’ve only seen a couple of japanese beetles this year.
I collect them and dump them in the lake for the bluegills.

Illegal cabbage? I thought they used infrared cameras to make that determination. Guess I gotta make a few changes in “the yard”.

You do impale them on a hook first, right?

I read, sadly, that Roundup is not working as well as it used to. I hope that’s not true. It was always magic.

Been slaying bluegills, sunfish and redears with my fly rod for years .
Look around on-line for poppers (8, 10 and even 12 sizes). Try these: http://tinyurl.com/3omodt6
Nothing like seeing them rise to the surface and slurp them in. My grandsons love to go with me...I hook 'em and they peel the line in. Literally, hours of fun.
Late in the day, you can get serious. Tie on a bigger surface popper (I use a size 4 "frog" or "mouse") and target bucket-mouth bass. If you get one good size bass (patience...it may take a week or more) to take that bait you have a memory that keeps bringing you back!
Stay in touch with your efforts.

When you have a big plant, you gotta show one that's big.
Reminds me of one of the photoshops of a guy with a giant cat, squirrel, fish, etc. Where's the giant petunia?
These suckers are perennials, too.

Invasive species tag team wrestling. I’ll put my purple loosestrife and eurasian milfoil up against your Kudzu and hogweed any day.

See, when you grow crops that have been genectically modified to be "Round Up Ready" and soak them with Round Up, some of those weeds are going to survive. Those weeds have seeds and evolution continues on it's merry pace.

The Roundup you buy at homodepot is really watered down. Their patent is gone so maybe they are stretching it even more to maintain the margin.
You have to have a Applicators License to buy the real stuff.
Since their patent ran out there are some better ones available.
