  All you can do is buy a insect spray, (I suggest malathion) and go around each day and kill them. Next spring put down a grub killer on your lawn and garden beds. Since beetles live under the ground and eat roots before they mature and come out of the ground as beetles. DO NOT use any beetle traps, they just attract more beetles.

last year when we seen a group of them we would set a pitcher of water in that area. check in on the pitcher and the ugly bug would be in there. for some reason water attracks them but they drown themselves
