The Invasive Japanese Bettle

Japanese beetles are an invasive species that is doing a large amount of damage to the plants around our homes. With their green / rust colored bodies, they can be quite pretty, however they are an incredible pain and very destructive. You can attack these bettles at different stages in their life cycle. They can make very short work of your grape vines and rose bushes.

You can add milky spore on your lawn, this will kill them while they are still a grub.

Milky spore is actually a bacteria (Bacillus popillae-Dutky) that is completely natural and safe to apply around animals and children, and further more is safe to use around waterways. The way the bacteria works is that it becomes ingested by the grubs and it destorys them from the inside out. This will also work on june bug grubs also. As all of these grubs die you may find that any mole or vole problem you had in your yard may also disappear.

There are a few options for dealing with the adult japanese beetle once it has emerged. A common way is using pheromone traps.

There are a number of disagreements on the effectivness of these traps. Some think since they can catch a bag full of beetles that it works. Others believe that since they attract Japanese bettles, you will end up with more than you can catch, causing you increased troubles. You can always employee the stand by of picking the beetles.

Picking beetles by hand can be quite cumbersome. You simply need to fill a mason jar halfway with soapy water, then simply knock them from the plant into the jar. Once the beetles die, simply dump the jar out and fill again. This has to be done daily if you wish to gain the upper hand on them.

This beetle is unfortunately reeking havok from the east coast all the way to the midwest.
