Advocates beneficial nematodes if you have the grubs as well. Don't know about leaving the dead bodies, soapy water kills the beetles but commercially available traps are self defeating as the beetles release pheromones which attract others.

wow Dave....sorry it took me so long to see this. I had actually forgotten about grubs. will look into the beneficial nematodes. it is weird, this yr the beetles are only going after my basil plants....don't know why. the soapy water is attracting alot of bugs but not many Japanese beetles so perhaps this was just an old wives tale.
