As the summer months approach, many homeowners are gearing up to spend more time outdoors, enjoying their lawns and gardens. However, with the warmer weather comes the arrival of a pesky and destructive pest: the Japan beetle.
 
These beetles are known for their voracious appetite and can quickly decimate a lawn or garden if left unchecked. They feed on a wide variety of plants, including roses, grapes, and fruit trees, and can cause significant damage to the leaves and flowers.
 
So, what can you do to protect your home and lawn from these invasive pests? Here are a few tips:
 
1. Identify the problem early: The sooner you can identify a Japan beetle infestation, the easier it will be to control. Look for signs of damage to your plants, such as chewed leaves or missing flowers.
 
2. Use physical barriers: One effective way to keep Japan beetles away from your plants is to use physical barriers, such as netting or row covers. These can be placed over your plants to prevent the beetles from landing and feeding.
 
3. Apply insecticides: There are a variety of insecticides available that can help control Japan beetle populations. However, it's important to use these products carefully and according to the instructions to avoid harming beneficial insects and pollinators.
 
4. Seek professional help: If you're struggling to control a Japan beetle infestation, it may be time to seek professional help.
