June beetles are named because adults will emerge and become active in June, though not exclusively. They can grow to be ½ an inch to an inch in length. Their colors can include dark reddish browns, oranges, and even green.
The terms “June beetle” and “June bug” actually refer to over 300 species of beetles, mostly in the genus Phyllophaga, but there are also beetles considered to be “June bugs” outside this genus.
June beetle control mostly focuses on targeting their larvae, since these immature beetles eat grass roots to grow and pupate into adults. June beetle larvae, commonly known as ‘white grubs’, are typically an inch in length and you’ll find them curled up in a C-shape. They have white, fleshy bodies with darker tail ends, and orange spots lining the sides.
To inspect for grubs, check your lawn for patches of brown or dying grass. Since grubs are sub-surface feeders, you’ll need to dig underground to find them. Dig a 1 foot square about 3 inches deep along the edge of any patches you’ve found. Lift up the grass, and note if there is any pest activity. You may spot a couple grubs, which is normal for any lawn, but if there are a high number clustered in that square foot patch, then that’s cause for action. High adult activity can also indicate potential grub activity. Adult June beetles are attracted to lights, so you can find them clustered around outdoor lights or even outside your front door if adults are active.
To get rid of June beetles on your property, you’ll need to use an insecticide labeled for June beetle control like Dominion 2L. To start, calculate your treatment area’s square footage by measuring the area’s length and width and multiplying them together. You’ll use this to determine how much product you need to use.
To broadcast Dominion at the labeled rate of 0.46 to 0.6 fluid ounces per thousand square feet, we recommend using a 20 gallon hose end sprayer since you’ll need to use enough water to push the product into the soil. To treat June bugs around your structure, we recommend using a pump sprayer since it can be used for precise applications around the exterior of your home. Apply Dominion 2L around common entry points around your home. Spray the edges of doors and windows, utility pipes, vent openings, weep holes, and any other openings such as voids in the wall. Since June bugs are nocturnal and attracted to lights, you’ll want to treat around exterior lights as well to prevent clusters from appearing in the morning.
