Why a site about Japanese Beetles and their White Grub Larvae? |
Now this site is recently new; so let me tell you why I created this Japanese Beetles site. I was in Home-Depot one day, searching for a new way to kill Japanese Beetles. I met several home owners who had trees and shrubs being attacked by Japanese Beetles. They were flustered and looking for ways to kill adult Japanese Beetles. My battle began three years ago, and I told them of my progress, and my observations, and they were interested. So I thought I can help other home owners by detailing out my steps and their results in controlling Japanese Beetles. Plus if you don't control the beetles, you get a lawn full of their larvae white grubs. Good bye lawn. NEW: Milky Spore FAQ's |

Work with your Neighbors.Getting rid of Japanese Beetles is not easy. As I you might have noticed from Japanese Beetle Articles, if you neighbors don't do their part, you will have a hard time controlling the infestation. You need to discuss your ideas about your yard's health, with your neighbors, and ask if they share the same basic needs as you do. Japanese Beetle infestations can wipe out a whole tree's foliage in very little time, so start early in the year with your discussion about teaming up on the killing Japanese Beetles. |

If you still want to use traps, make sure your Japanese Beetle traps are place far away from any trees and shrubs, and keep track of the traps effectiveness. Are you catching Beetles?
