Japanese Beetles : What you need to know
Identifying Characteristics
- Japanese Beetles are ½ inch in length and have metallic blue-green hue with tan wings
- They have small white hairs that line each side of the abdomen
Active Season
- Japanese Beetle eggs are laid in the soil in June
- Eggs hatch and turn into a white grub (about 1 inch long) in the soil and the following spring the grub pupates into an adult beetle
Interesting Facts
- Japanese Beetles can fly up to 5 miles in search of food
- Adult Beetles are sunbathers
- As the name implies, these insects came to America from Japan in the early 1900’s, purportedly in wooden packaging crates
Cause for Concern
- Japanese Beetles are the most devastating pest of urban landscape plants in the eastern United States
- A single beetle does not eat much; it is the group feeding by many beetles that results in severe damage
Town and Country Can Help
Customer Preparation
- Most Japanese Beetle treatments are completely exterior. If an interior treatment does need to be applied, a light spray around windows and doors may leave a very light film which should be left on for as long as possible to prevent entry. People and pets will need to remain out of the house for 1 hour
Our Guarantee
- All treatments come with the Town and Country Guarantee!
