About two weeks ago I noticed my neighbor hung bags that are supposed to attract and kill Japanese Beetles. My thought is that the not all the beetles attracted by these bags are killed, creating a increase in the population?
I have noticed many beetles around the gutter pop up drains in my yard after two large rains this week. I can only consider two options on how this occurred, form the yard or from the gutter. The large amount of beetles leads me to believe they were washed up from the drain. I do not understand what the beetles would be doing on my roof or in the gutter drain system?:confused:
If they are coming from the yard how can I treat the yard to get rid of them. One side not I only have one tree in my yard,a maple in the parkway. We do not have any landscaping bushes around the home either. Landscaping has not been a priority, we built the home in 2006.
