Benton Harbor, Michigan Japanese Beetle Control
Japanese Beetle Control, Benton Harbor Michigan
When beetles are discovered on flowering plants, pollinators should be considered before selecting a treatment. Japanese Beetle Control involving insecticides can pose risks to bees and other beneficial insects, particularly when products are applied to blooming vegetation. Nonchemical measures may be appropriate for smaller infestations. If a pesticide is necessary, the product label and applicable safety directions should be followed carefully, with particular attention to protecting pollinators.
Garden netting can provide a physical barrier against adult Japanese beetles on suitable plants. The method is particularly useful when protecting a limited number of valuable plants without applying insecticides. Japanese Beetle Control with netting requires attention to pollination, however, because covering flowering crops can prevent bees and other pollinators from reaching blossoms. For plants that require pollination, the timing of barrier use needs to be considered carefully.
During the summer, Japanese beetles may suddenly appear in large groups on particular plants. Feeding damage itself can contribute to further aggregation because damaged foliage produces odors that attract additional beetles. Japanese Beetle Control is often more manageable when adult numbers are addressed soon after they appear rather than waiting until plants are covered. Daily inspection can reveal early activity and provide an opportunity to reduce beetle numbers before the population becomes more difficult to manage.
