There is a spray called Provado. Spray late at night after birds and bees have gone to bed. I did this year twice only as soon as I saw the first beetle. Lilies were lovely this year.

squish them and look for there larve which hid themselves in the own poo. it looks a bit like bird dropings. There eggs you will find underneath the leaves.
