Surefire Japanese Beetle BagJapanese beetle adults feed on flowers and fruits and skeletonize leaves by eating all the leaf tissue and leaving the veins. Adults are most active from 9am–3pm on warm, clear summer days. Feeding is normally in the upper portions of trees. Beetles prefer plants in direct sun, so heavily wooded areas are rarely attacked. Adults are present until mid August. After mating females lay eggs in turf which hatch into grubs in August. Grubs feed on plant roots until cold weather drives than deeper into the soil. Adults emerge in summer of the following year. Place traps as soon as beetles emerge. Place traps on the upwind side of the plantings to protect. use with the SureFire Japanese Beetle Bait.
