Look out for the Japanese Beetle


Today, I noticed some Japanese beetles on my rose plants and crape myrtle trees. As these beetles feed on your landscape plants they will lay eggs in your turf and in August, September and October the larvae will feed on the roots of your turf causing considerable damage to your lawn. The best way to protect your lawn if you have Japanese beetles or have had grubs in the past years is by applying a systemic insect control now as a preventative.
