Japanese beetles tough to control this year
Adult beetles are numerous and harm trees shrubs and flowers. They are small oval with metallic green heads and copper wings, chewing leaf tissue to a lacey look. Grubs in soil damage lawns by feeding on roots, creating brown patches. Control options include Levin 50 percent WP at two tablespoons per gallon, timing with chewed foliage, repeats every five days, or using traps every ten to twelve feet. Adults appear June to August, with most dying by late August and grubs continuing to feed through fall and into winter.
