Japanese Beetle Control, Woods Cross Utah
Fruit trees may attract Japanese beetles because adults feed on foliage and fruit from numerous plant species. Apple, cherry, plum, grape, and other plants can experience feeding during periods of high beetle activity. Japanese Beetle Control in an orchard or home fruit garden should take crop development into account. Protecting valuable fruit may require closer monitoring than would be necessary for ornamental plants where some leaf feeding can be tolerated.
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 reason Japanese beetle problems can seem unpredictable is that population levels fluctuate considerably from year to year. Weather, soil moisture, host availability, and successful development of larvae can all influence the number of adults that appear. Japanese Beetle Control should therefore remain flexible rather than assuming that a severe infestation last summer guarantees the same situation this year. Regular observation allows management decisions to follow actual pest pressure.
