Japanese Beetles have been a thorn in the side of home owners in the US (east of the Mississippi) since they were first spotted in 1916. These insects wreak havoc on plant’s leaves as adults in the summer and damage roots in the lawn and garden as grubs in the spring and fall.
Combat these pests with Safer® Brand’s The Japanese Beetle Trap; a very popular and effective choice, along with Safer® Brand’s new Grub Killer Insecticide and Repellent for total control.
Symptoms:
Grubs eat the roots of plants and can cause stunted growth or if they are feeding on the lawn roots, you may see brown grass spots. Early symptoms of grub infestation include heavy activity of birds or critters foraging as the feast on the grubs. Grubs can also lead to problems with moles in the area.
Japanese Beetles voraciously feed on leaves of plants as adults. You may see multiple holes or fully skeletonized plants depending on the population size of this insect. These insects are approximately 1/2 inch and are quite visible when feeding. Since they are not native to the USA, they have few natural predators.
Full Year Control:
The Patented Food/Sex bait of Safer® Brand’s The Japanese Beetle Trap lures beetles to the bag where they are trapped and die. This powerful attractant interrupts the mating cycle of the Japanese Beetle, depleting the population and protecting your plants.
During the late summer, spray Safer® Brand’s new Grub Killer Insecticide and Repellent in the ground surrounding the base of the trap to kill any grubs that may have hatched from eggs laid before the females were trapped.
Spray a full application of Safer® Brand Grub Killer Insecticide and Repellent once in the fall before the first frost and once in the early spring when the ground begins to thaw to kill grubs living in your yard before they can cause damage to the roots of your plants and grass.
After the spring application, for the approximately 7 days that the Azadirachtin (active ingredient) is doing its job, it will repel any adult Japanese Beetles from the area in case there are some early bloomers.
Then in late spring/early summer its time to set up a trap again because even though you’ve killed the grubs in your yard, did all your neighbors do the same? Japanese Beetles travel to find food. Stop them in their tracks!.
