It’s time to keep an eye out for Japanese beetles, one of the most easily recognized and destructive garden pests.
Japanese beetles, which usually appear in June after they develop from grubs that overwinter in the soil, feed on about 300 species of ornamental plants.“It’s easiest to catch them by placing a soapy water filled container directly under the leaf that they are chewing on and then shaking the leaf so they drop into the water,” Yiesla said. The soap ensures that the beetles die.When a beetle finds a good food source, it emits a chemical pheromone that attracts other beetles.
Moist soil in lawns also invites beetles to lay eggs, since the moist soil is easy to dig. “To discourage grubs, don’t water the lawn in July and August, when beetles are laying eggs,” Yiesla said.It is now illegal to use the pesticide imidacloprid to treat linden trees against Japanese beetles, which was formerly a common practice. If you are considering applying any other insecticide to protect an especially valuable plant, be aware that insecticides can’t guarantee control.
