Asian Beetles, The Halloween Beetle

Asian beetles are multicolored beetles and also called Halloween bugs. They were imported into the United States in the 1980s, to act as pest eradicators in gardens and attack other garden pests like aphids and white flies. While they were very efficient in doing the tasks assigned to them, they have now grown out of control, because their natural predators which exist in Japan and China do not have a presence in the United States. Fortunately Asian beetles do not cause any harm to human possessions or other materials, and what has caused them to earn the ire of many people is the way they congregate in large numbers at most unexpected places. They can dive bomb themselves into your soup or salad and cause a lot of consternation. Their one defense is a foul smelling yellow discharge from their hind legs that can stink to high heaven, when they are squashed. This same substance can cause stains on surfaces and also induce allergic reactions in some people. So how does one get rid of Asian beetles and be away from their defense mechanism and its smell.
