They will, the gap will get much larger, this method of displaying the data doesn’t show quite how bad it actually is

Now lets see it adjusted for the real value of the dollar over time! :D

yeah after reading this Ima set it as my default as well tbh

Perfect amount of information to convey everything I would need to know concisely; thanks!

Will definitely do some planting to attract these, I think I’m somewhat out of luck for this year so am gonna have to get scent traps but hopefully plants will be established by next summer and attracting the right bugs to kill off the beetles

This is kind of why I am posting this, I figure thyme will not be enough on its own given how bad japanese beetles get, so am asking for other things I can plant to help control them passively meaning less work for me in the long run, having to constantly spray them is something I am looking to avoid if possible.
