I do hope your plants survive. Our son in Ottawa had a hard time with rose chafers (on rose blossoms), which look similar to your beetles and are just as dreadful.

They couldn't spray the ground where the bugs survive in winter because of having a toddler at home.Bushladynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-59053364531244501252021-06-04T19:22:37.465+01:002021-06-04T19:22:37.465+01:00The RHS website is very helpfulThe RHS website is very helpfulAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-52635993685863455992021-06-04T19:22:22.614+01:002021-06-04T19:22:22.614+01:00Liz said they had some on their rosemary last summ...Liz said they had some on their rosemary last summer, and it survived...Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-84740937281439356732021-06-04T19:21:58.452+01:002021-06-04T19:21:58.452+01:00Dettol sounds a good idea!
