After chucking a few rocks to watch the guppies chase them, I was surprised by the doltishness of the responses even when some of that is what anyone would expect. If you ever thought America had a future, one thing you can guarantee is those monkeys will never bring it.
There's something random at the end as well. Skip to that if your interest is in bug prevention which isn't also a condor killer.
There's much better than Black Olivers Matter as zookeepers in San Diego wandered what orangutans might do with bubbles. Maybe you're in interested to see the orangs with the bubble machine. (Guaranteed kid-safe. You will not believe.)
And here's a bubble master to amuse you as well.
Here's Michael Usov to stun you with nothing more than leftover stuff from supermarket shopping.
Cat and I were talking of the Japanese Beetle War which I fought in the Hosea front ... and lost. She confirmed the pheromone-based traps do, in fact, attract more bugs than they kill and the damn things killed hordes of them. The rest ate the roses in the most disgusting possible way. Lotho and I set out maybe twenty bushes and munch, munch, munch went the Japanese beetles.
Kaolin spray appears to be an effective answer and it's mineral-based rather than the product being a transport for some pesticide. (WIKI: Kaolin Spray)
Another solution useful at an agricultural level is a physical barrier in some kind of sheet but they say specifically this may require hand pollination of the plants. That kind of barrier is a horrible thing for a home garden so the spray seems the best solution. I don't think it was well-known in historic times (i.e. when I was most actively gardening from mid-80's to mid-90's although there was a quite a bit for my ol' Mother's garden much earlier and often in concert with Lotho. Maybe Doc had already split by that time.

Honeysuckle planted close by as an alternate food source works great
They leave my roses alone
I'm glad that worked as I'm sure you remember the Beetle Wars. That was such a stinky, nasty horror (larfs). And it didn't even work.
