JAPANESE BEETLES

[sixdogs]

I tried the milky spore, but didn't have much luck with it. I'll have to check out the acelepryn. Ground is typically still frozen here in April, wonder how that affects it?
Beans and asparagus seem to be the big attractions to them here, plus one rose bush (other rose bushes don't seem to be affected as much).

I was in the land grading biz and was told Acelepryn will eventually be the only product approved for grub control. The others are said to be environmentally dangerous. Acelepryn is on the preferred list but is more expensive. For me, it's a miracle.

I put down 150-200 lbs per acre of granules and prefer without fertilizer added. I could choose between 0-0-7 and 7-0-0 if I want fertilizer. I use granules because they hit all the nooks and crannies.

Trapping beetles was a waste for me and I believe attracted them from miles around. Milky spore is uncertain and big box store "grub treatments" don't work for me.

If ground is frozen in NH, wait till it's and follow instructions on the bag. If you have some other similar bug, read the label and see if it impacts your bug. Your ground may be frozen in early March but is ready to go by the end of the month. Read instruction sheet.
