Beetles and grapevines
I had a horrible problem with japanese beatles this summer and my grapevines. I am curious if anybody knows of a company that makes insect netting in large pieces that I can make a net for my vines. Or if anybody has any ideas to deter these bugs.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions. |

There is some pretty extensive information on the following site. <b>Beating Japanese Beetles</b> A quote from the article on the site is below.
9. Fruit trees and grape vines can be protected from beetles (and the many other pests they attract) with a clay-based insect barrier, like Garden's Alive's “Surround at Home”. These sprays coat the plant with a thin gray film that repels both insects and disease, and smothers any pests you actually hit with the spray!

One could certainly try using Sevin. But, the following quote is also from the site that I referenced above.
Q. Mike: I am being overrun; I used Sevin; they laughed at it. I mixed it stronger; they laughed louder. I have dogs and am not comfortable spraying insecticides all the time.
Control Methods for Adult Beetles
Management of Japanese beetles is at times difficult and other times relatively easy. Correct timing and economical control measures are very important. If you want to control the adult Japanese beetle, the time to do this is when they are actively feeding on leaves, such as roses and crape myrtles. There are several different insecticides that can be applied to the plant leaf surface to assist in controlling the adult Japanese beetle, Select only one product to apply at a given time. Sevin 50WP or Orthene are recommended for homeowner use on trees and shrubs. The foliage of ornamental plants can be protected by dusting or spraying with one of the following pesticides: Sevin 50W Diazinon 25EC Pyrellin EC |

I have seen this netting at Menard's. It is what you said, a fine netting to protect plants and flowers.
