How to get rid of Japanese Beetles
We can help control the Japanese Beetle population by killing many the Japanese Beetles in the turf and also preventing future infestations to a certain degree by using a grub formula to prevent the Japanese Beetles from before the Larva stage and grub stage; before full maturation. If you know your options you have a better chance impacting the beetle population. Sadly it seems here in the Minneapolis and St.
Paul areas the Japanese beetle population is booming and the bug is eating rose bushes, birch trees, willows, linden, apple trees , strawberry bushes and all kinds of garden vegetables. The JB is a huge annoyance and without a natural predator in Minnesota what can be done about Japanese Beetles?
- Comprehensive insect control does kill Japanese Beetles as well as mosquitoes, ticks, ants and other common turf and yard insects.
- Grub treatment can prevent a high percentage of the Japanese Beetles eggs from hatching into white grubs.

Further information on Japanese Beetles and lawn insects:
Minneapolis, MN Japanese Beetles Early Grub Warning The Minneapolis, MN summer season is practically synonymous with insects. A few harmless beetles shouldn’t be a cause for concern then…right? Unfortunately, Japanese beetles should set off warning bells if you happen to take pride in having a healthy, green lawn.
While the beetles themselves do not cause damage to lawns, their larvae (white grubs) pose a major threat to most Minneapolis, MN turfgrass species.
White grubs will aggressively chew on a lawn’s root system until there is nothing left, causing the lawn to turn brown and roll back like a carpet or newly-laid sod. Consider the presence of beetles on your property a red flag – or, at the very least, a reminder to schedule your preventative grub control treatment. While your Minneapolis, MN lawn is relatively safe in the pre-larvae stage, surrounding foliage on your property may be at risk.
These green and copper-colored beetles feed on about 300 species of plants, devouring leaves, flowers, and overripe or wounded fruit. They usually feed in groups, starting at the top of a plant and working downward.
They are highly mobile and most active on warm, sunny days, and prefer plants that are in direct sunlight. Life Cycle The majority of white grubs and Japanese beetles complete their life cycle in one year, while others require three years.
White grubs survive in the winter as larvae in the soil. In the early spring they begin to feed again. Later, in the spring and summer, they enter a resting stage (pupae) and then hatch into adult beetles.
The presence of many Japanese beetles on your Minneapolis, MN property can mean a grub problem down the road, as there will be higher populations to reproduce. Our Minneapolis, MN Lawn care team Can Help Grub damage is most severe in the spring and the fall, when grubs are actively feeding near the surface of the root zone.
As the lawn’s root system is eaten away, the grass will start to discolor. Left undiagnosed, grubs from the Japanese Beetles can devastate a lawn in a short period of time.
Adult Japanese beetles often return to the same area year after year to mate and lay eggs. If you’ve had grub problems in the past, you will most likely need an annual preventative control program to help eliminate grubs and prevent further damage to your Minneapolis, MN lawn.
