been hearing of people using blue dawn dish soap on japanese beetles, so i figured id give it a try. i have a 50 gallon sprayer with a gas engine and a hypro pump i spray the orchard with. to keep it tractor related, some times i pull it with the farmall cub, sometimes the 240u, sometimes the john deere gt245, but never with the minnie mo 500 loader backhoe. there enough said. past years i have been using liquid sevin anywhere from 2.5 to 3.5 oz per gallon, the knock down rate was 24 hours or longer. the can do a lot of damage in that amount of time. so the other day the boogers showed up and started snacking on my trees. between the rough spring, killer frost, flood and drought, its been tough, now this. anyway, i mixed 1.5 oz of sevin with a 40 oz bottle of blue dawn dish soap and sprayed the trees. within about an hour and a half, i had beetles dropping dead on the ground. worked way better than the stronger sevin mix. next application, i will try just dawn and see what happen. i have heard 3.5 oz dawn per gallon is recommended, but i only had the one jug of dawn.
