How can I get rid of Japenese beetles off of my sweet corn?
Question:My sweet corn is growing very well, I check it everyday, now I have these darn green bugs all over the ears of corn, can I get rid of them? Thanks for your help!
Answers:
Japanese beetle traps (lowe's, home depot, walmart). Japanese beetles have no natural enemies here in the US, not even the praying mantis
tell them to f____ off
Shake beetles off plants into a pail of soapy water, or snare them with synthetic bait in Japanese beetle traps bought at a garden center. Effective sprays are carbaryl, malathion, or methoxychlor.
Praying mantis eat them.
Jeez, I think my grandmother suffers from these bugs as well so she went to Lowes or Home Depot and got these bags that attract them and it's sticky inside asd kills them. She said they worked pretty good.
