Japanese beetles are one of the most widespread turf and ornamental pests in the United States. As larvae, these insects can eat through plant roots and create large patches of dead grass, and as adults, they’ll easily eat through plenty of garden leaves and cause mass defoliation.

Japanese beetles grow to be about ⅓ to ½ an inch in length. They have iridescent green bodies, and copper-ish wing coverings, also known as elytra. Additionally, they have small white spots of hair or fur on the rears of their bodies and club-like antennae. Being a type of June Bug, Japanese beetles hatch from eggs as grubs. Like all other beetle grubs, their fleshy white bodies are typically curled up in a C-shape. They have six legs, and they have orange heads with sizable mandibles.

Depending on the climate, mature Japanese beetles can emerge from the ground from May to Late June. Warmer climates will see earlier pest emergence.
You’ll want to conduct your inspection during daytime hours. Unlike other June bug species, Japanese beetles are active during the day when the sun is out. Check your gardens, shrubs, trees, and other ornamentals for Japanese beetle activity. You’ll usually find Japanese beetles in groups as they feed on their host plant. You can also find adult beetles among your turfgrass as they look for spots to lay eggs.

If it’s not summer and you suspect grubs in your lawn, you’ll have to inspect your property for patches of brown or dying grass. Since grubs are sub-surface feeders, you’ll need to dig underground to find them. Dig a 1 foot square about 3 inches deep along the edge of any patches you’ve found. Lift up the grass, and note if there is any pest activity. You may spot a couple grubs, which is normal for any lawn, but if there are a high number clustered in that square foot patch, then that’s cause for action.

To get rid of Japanese beetles on your property, you’ll need to use an insecticide labeled for Japanese beetle control like Dominion 2L. Dominion 2L is a systemic insecticide that can be used to control larvae underneath turf as well as adults feeding on ornamentals and other shrubbery. Since you’ll need to make a high-volume treatment, we recommend you use a 20-gallon hose-end sprayer to push your product down into the soil.

To kill white grubs in your lawn, evenly distribute the entire amount of product over your treatment area. If you’re dealing with adults in your shrubbery, you’ll need to apply a foliar treatment to all shrubs on your property. Be sure to spray leaves to the point of wet, but not runoff, ensuring that as much product sticks to the leaf surface as possible. When applied properly, your pests will consume the roots or leaves and die within 24 hours. It may take several weeks to see noticeable changes in pest activity.
