Quick Tip: Use Dishwater To Spray Plants
After washing dishes in the sink, use the dishwater on houseplants (make sure it’s not too warm). Spray or gently pour the soapy water over the plants and bugs won’t be too happy about it. If using a regular sized spray bottle, you can add another tsp of liquid dish detergent if a stronger soap solution is needed.
Don’t do this more than once a week.

One could probably use sweet water aquarium water to water the plants. Should be enough nutrients in there to keep them happy.
Water after boiling vegetables could also be useful for that. At least if you have not added salt to it.

Dishsoap and warm water to execute all beetles including junebugs. Catch them and place them in the soapy water and watch them go bye bye. I have tried this and its been a blessing!
