How do you get rid of click beetles?

Answer 1

Drenches, predators, and repellents are ways to control beetles. Soil drenches can be applied to protect plant roots from sub-surface and surface predators. The introduction of natural enemies, the planting of geranium, larkspur, and smartweed, and the use of horticultural oils and insecticidal soaps work together to control beetle populations.

Answer 2

Try Nematodes- it's a natural worm-like organism that you get at a garden store. They must be refrigerated until you dilute them in water and spray on your lawn. They only last for about a month after you buy them, so buy them and use them.

Answer 3

Companion-planting, encouraging natural enemies, hand-picking, installing row covers and using insecticidal soaps and neem oils describe ways to rid yards of Japanese beetles. The insects in question (Popillia japonica) find themselves unwelcome with row covers that separate edible and ornamental crops from predatory invertebrates. They fight losing battles against cultivation of unfriendly plants such as geraniums and marigolds, removal by garden equipment, gloved hands or hosed water into drowning buckets and treatments with home-made or store-bought oils and soaps.

Answer 4

An effective control material is "milky spore" bacteria, Paenibacillus popilliae, which specifically targets the larval beetles (grubs).

Answer 5

Well, this is a pretty risky method, leave your gas cooker on for a bit, then get a lighter, should clear beetles for about 1 mile

Answer 6

Applying Scotts Grubex in the early summer (June) will give you season long protection from grubs in the lawn.

Answer 7

Spray bug poison such as Raid on them or call an exterminator.
