Signs you have them
- Beetles piling up under lights
- Grub damage in the lawn later in the year
Why it matters
The adults are a nuisance. Their larvae are the grubs that damage lawns.
How we treat it
We treat them as a grub problem, since the grubs are where the damage happens. Adults travel, so you may still see dead beetles around the yard after treatment.
Prevention
- Use yellow bulbs on porch lights
- Plan a late-summer grub treatment
