Japanese Beetle - How to Kill and Repel them.

[@michaelreed2895]

Thanks! Also, thanks for remembering to avoid the flowering stage of your plants.

HI! Was not a question, even if you do not have cats, there are feral cats and cats that people let run outside sadly. Hope it is not toxic to honey bees. I too have a Japanese Beetle problem but no crops.

[@FruitTree]

It's horrible that people let them run free. I did mention not spraying when flowers are around for the bees

[@chadolson6889]

I have some peach and cherry trees. Interestingly they seem to like the cherry more than the peach. I am spraying as well (not the same product) but I do worry about how I'm going to manage once my fruit trees get bigger/taller.

[@FruitTree]

Bigger treed recover fast

The main difference between the June Bug and the Japanese Beetle is very noticable The June bug Is larger and Very Dull looking whereas the Japanese beetle is Smaller and very bright colored also June bugs are Just that they appear in very late may and are gone bt rhe end of June Whereas the bettle may stick around all summer and will RUIN your fruit trees as well as your garden. The june bug may nibble on a few leaves but will not eat enough to harm the trees and they DO NOT eat fruit tree leaves

I use Surround WP. It’s a white clay powder that is natural. They will not land on anything that I spray this on, cucumbers, squash, fruit trees. Read about its company, Nova Source. I have had a almost 100% success rate with it. I buy a 25 lb bag from our local coop, they order for me, 47$. It’s better than what you are using. My story is similar to yours, maybe worse. If you can stop them from landing they will go elsewhere. It’s been a miracle product for me, I use a battery sprayer. For application I use twoX spray applications at first then after every rain. It will turn anything you spray white, but that doesn't bother me. all the best. spray he trees before they hatch out

I was just looking into this today. That’s a great price too. I can’t find the surround wp clay under $82 a bag. I actually wish they would package it in smaller portions. Like 10-15 lb bags. Was watching james prigioni’s channel. He is in Jersey. Shows how to use it. Does a fantastic job! I’m going to get some

[@FruitTree]

@FloridaGirl- 2nd year doing it and it works amazingly

[@FloridaGirl-]

@@FruitTree am talking about the surround clay. 🤣 I do have the spray you used in consentrate as well. Haven’t had to use any. But I like being prepared. I haven’t had Jap beetles yet her in FL. Had em once in the north like a plague. Thanks for this vid! 👍

[@pavanvaswani9245]

I realize my post is a little too late but dozage approved for human clothing (after drying) is .25% which translates to 1 oz per 19 in your 20 oz bottle. I use it in my chicken coop for mites and chiggers and on my clothes. I spray my yard / gardening clothes a night before use and once dry, the clothes are good to go for out door use for 4 washes. It's been a great tick repellent, chigger repellent and now sounds like I'll be using it in plants to get rid of Japanese beetles.

Can You buy this in Canada?​@@FloridaGirl-

[@KarenGould-bh6di]

Is it safe on Ballard greens and other types of greens?

[@FruitTree]

Yes

[@wenchyiliu3923]

Thanks. Do you know if it is safe to use on roses? Did the aphids die after spraying?

[@FruitTree]

I think it would be for sure. It's plant based

[@naychiv9325]

Does permethrin cause cancer or any health problems to humans? Is it safe to spray on the vegetables that you eat?

[@FruitTree]

I'm not going to spray it on me or things that I eat. But everything causes cancer

[@FD-is1ug]

Do the beetles come from the soil?...will grub spray kill the babies?

[@FruitTree]

It's more of a repellant

[@FD-is1ug]

@@FruitTree I understand what this product does I'm just wondering if putting a grub killer on your lawn would be a proactive approach...I will however definitely be using this product and this video has been a wealth of knowledge

[@FruitTree]

@FD-is1ug no way too many beneficial organisms would be harmed

[@jacksobe]

Did your chickens get sick?

[@FruitTree]

Nope

[@lilyzhang5574]

Thank you for sharing! Will this works for cucumber beetle too?

[@FruitTree]

I imagine it will work

[@micheleromaine7782]

I am absolutely going to order some of this product. I’m not needing to save any plants or garden on my property but just needing to save MY SANITY!😫 These creatures for some reason just absolutely took over my property this year and they were SWARMING my entire 4 acres of lawn. I don’t grow a garden or have any plants this year. Just the grass in the yard. They dive bomb me and have clogged my pool skimmers where I have to go out twice a day just to empty the basket so it doesn’t burn up my pump. I just don’t understand why on earth they showed up on my property this year like this. I have been here 5 years and have never witnessed anything like this before. Absolutely disgusting This means WAR

[@FruitTree]

I'm happy you liked it. If you have them in your grass like that chickens would go crazy for them

[@micheleromaine7782]

@@FruitTree I have thought about getting some chickens before but I have a small Pomeranian dog and I don’t need anything else drawing in the hawks and other predators I already worry enough that something will hurt my dog while we are outside

[@Hibiscuscalyxes]

Me too ,man, I grow ornamental, and these Japanese beetles eat all the flowers, and leaves,seem to love hibiscus, terrible bugs!

[@KarenGould-lh4uc]

Thanks for all the information gonna use it

[@hycinth5371]

Do you wear mask and gloves for handling this material?

[@FruitTree]

I didnt and my hand felt alittle dry for a day or 2. I would recommend them. No mask I just watched the wind

[@grandwonder5858]

You didn’t tell us if it kills those aphids or not. Also, how often do you have to spray to keep the bugs out? I guess it works on all fruit tree? Thanks for posting this video, buddy! I need to save my persimmon trees from those Japanese beetles and flies!

[@FruitTree]

I'm finding it works in every insect. It lasts me thr whole june bug season so a month or so

[@grandwonder5858]

@@FruitTree Hey buddy, I just want to give you an update, your method works fantastically! I am able to save my persimmon trees because of your advice! No bugs dare to eat my trees because of this spray! All the bugs and flies stay away from them and the best part is I don't have to spray unless it rains! It seems to work for up to 1.5 months if the rain doesn't fall, which is awesome! Thanks, buddy!

[@FruitTree]

@grandwonder5858 very happy it worked.

[@charleslarson7927]

Thank you. Where is the Amazon link?

[@FruitTree]

In the decription

[@cennsa140driver]

Damn things destroyed our two cherry trees and I think they are not going to make it.

[@FruitTree]

You may be surprised at how well they bounce back

[@thomaseichstaedt4988]

[@ryanadams711]

Thx for sharing

[@oneyaker]

Per-meth-rin

[@SuperOzarkian]

All I'm seeing on the net is for livestock only. 😟

[@FruitTree]

Me too that's why I made the video. Locals have been using this a an effective cost saving way to help their trees

[@Epck]

These things make me furious

[@07Wildheart]

This is toxic to cats

[@FruitTree]

If that's a question I don't know. If it's a statement we don't have cats. They are an invasive species responsible for wiping out native species of birds and rodents.
