Japanese Beetles Are Back in Eastern Iowa (Blog)

It's official: Japanese Beetles have been spotted in Marion! But there's still time to protect your smaller plants.

They're baaaaack! Japanese Beetles have been spotted in Eastern Iowa, and three weeks early.

It looks like we may have seven or more weeks of Japanese Beetle trouble.

Good news for smaller plants: it only takes a couple of weeks for effective control with systemic products. There's still time to protect smaller shrubs, roses, and perennials.

Use Bayer systemic to protect against Japanese Beetles as well as many other common insect pests. Talk to the plant experts at Culver's Garden Center for all your pest control needs and find the full line of Bayer products.
