Broadview, Illinois Japanese Beetle Control
Japanese Beetle Control, Broadview Illinois
Fruit trees may attract Japanese beetles because adults feed on foliage and fruit from numerous plant species. Apple, cherry, plum, grape, and other plants can experience feeding during periods of high beetle activity. Japanese Beetle Control in an orchard or home fruit garden should take crop development into account. Protecting valuable fruit may require closer monitoring than would be necessary for ornamental plants where some leaf feeding can be tolerated.
For small gardens, the simplest solution may involve walking through the landscape each day and removing visible adults. Japanese Beetle Control through physical removal is especially practical when the number of plants is limited and beetle populations have not yet become overwhelming. Extension recommendations suggest removing beetles during cooler periods when they are less active. Collected beetles can be placed into soapy water rather than left on the ground near host plants.
The relationship between turf and ornamental plants often causes confusion. Homeowners may assume that eliminating every grub in their lawn will prevent beetles from feeding on roses or fruit trees. In reality, adult Japanese beetles can fly in from surrounding areas after emerging elsewhere. Japanese Beetle Control should recognize this mobility. Turf treatment is primarily intended to reduce damage caused by grubs in the turf itself, not to create a guaranteed barrier against adult beetles arriving from outside the property.
