beetles: a frustrating battle

Ok, I pick and drown the little #$%^&*@!s but everytime I pick one it alerts 2 or 3 others on the same bloom. They get to fly away. So, I have taken to giving each bloom a quick spritz of pyola which seems to stun them and now I can usually get every one! The pyola doesn't kill them. They need to be drowned. My most difficult beetles are actually the oriental Bs.

I use beneficial nematodes to control grubs but this year I mulched all of my beds and a lot of lawn too! Does anyone know if I can still apply nematodes and milky spore over 3 or 4 inches of wood chips? /Abi
