University of Maryland entomologist George S. Langford urges homeowners to use DDT sprays to kill Japanese beetles infesting trees shrubs grapevines and roses. He notes 2 pounds of 50 percent dispersible DDT per 100 gallons of water or 3 teaspoons per gallon for small scale use, plus a 30 percent DDT emulsion option. The spray reportedly kills beetles on contact and protects plants for about two weeks.
An expert warns against using ordinary household liquid DDT on plants as it is dissolved in kerosene and would heavily damage the foliage. If DDT is unavailable, spraying with arsenate of lead or hydrated lime in water is advised to repel beetles. Sprays only reduce immediate damage and do not provide long term beetle control, unlike milky disease.
