I've had similar, and they will eat your sarrs! I would go ahead and spray them with something, idk what, but something that will kill them.
Those are japanese beetles. I've had them before, they left a few holes in my sarr pitchers, but nothing severe.
Pheromone bags work wonders but it only by attracting them. You'll end up killing tons of them AND attracting more. Sounds like you're stuck between a rock and a hard place : /
but I know you don't care for me.
Any recommendations ?
Hey Mass - I used to live in White Lake, MI and every year had thousands of those Japanese beetles in my yard and my neighbor’s yard. My neighbor actually put two of those pheromone bags in their yard to keep them away from their hobs and it only attracted more. They ate all of their hobs but left all of my Sarrs alone. I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
