Asian beetle control

I have discovered a way to sort of control Asian beetles.
I first made a concoction of hot peppers and hand soap in a small hand sprayer. (I had dried red peppers from last year)
A small amount of soap and peppers added to enough water to fill the sprayer.
Mist the beetles and they will not fly away. I then use a shop vac to collect the beetles. (With just the vacuum they get gun shy right away.) You still have to do this for several days and several times a day for awhile but it becomes less and less as time goes on.
