We are approaching Japanese Beetle season in the Youngstown area.
Please list your first Japanese Beetle sighting for 2011 and give the approximate location of your find.
I am not planning on finding very many this year. This is my third summer after I used the milky spore so I am hoping for the best!!
I talked with someone today who claims to have already found Japanese Beetles in his yard. He also used the milky spore on his lawn.
My FIL in Boardman has seen a few at his house. I still have not spotted any here at my house on the North side. I have a friend south of Cleveland that is loaded with them this year!
I spotted a few in the roses and yesterday saw 2 on my corn.
They are in Coalburg
I spotted my first Japanese Beetle in the Cornersburg area today. A half hour later I put out the trap. By the end of the day I caught over 100 beetles.
I wish you lived in my neighborhood Jay so you could have mine too!! I can't get my neighbors to put them out...LOL. I still haven't spotted any in my yard yet.
Most neighbors do not appreciate the benefit they receive from the beetle removal. I wish they would at least chip in for the bait from time to time.
;D
I spotted a couple of them here on the north side today.
My traps have not caught as many beetles as in the past. Maybe I did a really good job at reducing the population last year.
