Poofing the Japanese beetle

Summer is simmering to a full boil. Ample rain and sunshine have pushed the flora into aromatic bloom on lush foliage, and the Japanese beetles love every bite. They chomp their way through leaves like Pac Men through mazes, leaving skeletal leaf veins in their wake.

I get out my Seven Dust and poof it over anything remotely green and tasty, and the pesky buggers still chomp the white-coated leaves, then die. No sadness here. I sweep them off the deck with gusto.

With all the rain we've had, I'm out there "poofing" dust and sweeping a lot. But, those plant vultures will not win. Let them eat cake!
