Lysosomes
The male Japanese beetle has specific proteins on its antennae that can bind to the female pheromone molecule. When the male protein binds to the pheromone, it triggers a cascade of enzymatic reactions within the beetle's body that lead to the molecule being broken down or deactivated.

a Japanese rhinoceros beetle. also known as a Japanese horned beetle and kabutmushi.
There are many systemic approaches used today that allow treatment of trees that kill pests that attempt to feed on them. I think this approach was lots of possibilities. The same research approach used in the past would likely be the best place to start in an effort to discover a way to control the spread or atleast protect trees from this infestagtion. Another approach would be through pheromones. If the pheromone that the emerald beetle produces to attract it's mate can be identified, then perhaps it can be synthesized. Pheromone traps could be used on a large scale and greatly disrupt the reproductive cycle of the beetle.
