ASIAN BEETLE CONTROL

Lady Asian Beetles are a good insect for controlling aphids and other insects that cause damage to crops, gardens, and our landscaping. They become pests when hundreds to thousands of them invade our homes or businesses, usually when the weather starts to cool in the fall. They will assemble on your ceilings or walls, fly, and bite if they are threatened; however, they do not carry any human diseases. They may discharge a yellow fluid that can stain walls, paint, and fabrics. You can prevent their entry into houses and other buildings by sealing cracks and openings around windows, doors, siding, and utility pipes, but if they are congregating on your doorway and fly in every time you open the door, then they become more of a 'pest,' and we can use other methods to get that under control for you.  Call Johnsons Pest Control, your Pest Control Exterminator, today.

There are many other types of beetles, such as Flour Beetles, June bugs (larvae is known as grubs), Japanese beetles are found in some fruit trees, Emerald Ash Borer is fairly common and the Blister beetle is something horse owners need to be aware of. Blister beetles can be toxic to horses due to the inflammation it can cause when a horse eats alfalfa hay that is contaminated with these beetles. The hay needs to be checked carefully before feeding it to your horses since one bale of hay from a field can be contaminated while others in the same field are not. While there are always some kind of recommendation found on the internet, North Dakota State University is an agriculture school with state of the art entomology department and trustworthy answers to your/our questions can usually be found on their sites.
