Nothing that I tried touched them, fruit tree spray, Miathilion, seven, etc.
But I just heard this week exactly what you said. Both about the bag and systemic additive to the soil. I want to investigate further if the soil additive will foul the fruit.
I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed the figs and look forward to peaches, pears and plums next year! |
Jap beetles are the adult larvae of grubs. So if you have grub damage in your lawn that's next years crop of jap beetles. If you apply merit to the lawn in early June it will kill them. They usually fly out of the ground around 4th of July. You have to break the cycle, the beetles lay their eggs in the grass in the same spot they came out of. They burrow down and come up to feed in august September. Which is when you see grub damage.
