Jonesboro, Maine Japanese Beetle Control
Japanese Beetle Control, Jonesboro Maine
A lawn problem involving white grubs requires a different perspective from beetles feeding above ground. Japanese Beetle Control may involve both the landscape plants where adults feed and turfgrass where larvae develop. The underground grubs consume grass roots, potentially creating yellow or brown patches that loosen easily from the soil. Treating grubs does not necessarily prevent adult beetles from arriving from neighboring properties, so the two stages should be considered separately.
Fruit trees may attract Japanese beetles because adults feed on foliage and fruit from numerous plant species. Apple, cherry, plum, grape, and other plants can experience feeding during periods of high beetle activity. Japanese Beetle Control in an orchard or home fruit garden should take crop development into account. Protecting valuable fruit may require closer monitoring than would be necessary for ornamental plants where some leaf feeding can be tolerated.
For small gardens, the simplest solution may involve walking through the landscape each day and removing visible adults. Japanese Beetle Control through physical removal is especially practical when the number of plants is limited and beetle populations have not yet become overwhelming. Extension recommendations suggest removing beetles during cooler periods when they are less active. Collected beetles can be placed into soapy water rather than left on the ground near host plants.
