5 Ways to Beat the Beetles

1. Apply Fertilome's Grub Free Zone II on your lawn now to kill the grub form of the Japanese Beetle. 
2. Protect trees and shrubs (especially Lindens, birches, roses) with a systemic insectide. Try Fertilome's Tree & Shrub Systemic Insect Drench.
3. For fruits and veggies, Captain Jack's Spinosad is an effective organic product or use Carbaryl.
4. Need to reach a tall tree? Bonide's Beetle Killer attaches to your hose and shoots 25 feet. 
5. Japanese Beetle traps are effective and satisfying. They will attract beetles from your neighbor's yard, too!
