1. There aren't any that really work. Japanese Beetles are bastards, and there aren't even many chemicals that get rid of them for long. Just about any insecticide works, at least until the first good rain.
2. look up diatomaceous earth on line.. you can buy it a Lowes.. put the diatomaceous earth in your garden as instructed.. I assure you that though it will not repel the bugs.. it absolutely will destroy them.. check it out..
