Land O' Lakes, Florida Japanese Beetle Control
Japanese Beetle Control, Land O' Lakes Florida
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.
One important distinction involves the purpose of treatment. Adult Japanese beetle management protects leaves, flowers, and fruit, while grub management protects turf and other susceptible roots. Japanese Beetle Control becomes much clearer when these objectives are separated. Treating soil simply because adults are flying nearby may not reduce feeding on ornamental plants. Conversely, ignoring confirmed grub damage can allow turf roots to suffer even after adult beetle activity has declined.
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.
