Japanese Beetle Management Class - 2018

If you're at the hair pulling stage from looking, flicking or smashing these coppery/green bothersome beetles, then I'm here to offer help. Or at least an opportunity to join in the beetle battle learning plan for the rest of this summer and next year with others who are are also losing their hair!

My final 2018 class on Japanese beetle management at Denver Botanic Gardens is August 2, 2018 from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm in Gates Hall, which is just inside the main building once you're through the gift shop entrance. Free parking in the lot across from the main entrance.

I'll cover all that you need to know about this small, but hungry, destructive pest. There are lawn care practices that can deter egg laying (which is next year's generation of adult beetles). I'll offer some easy, inexpensive tips for covering your favorite plants to prevent damage and then we'll roll up our sleeves and discuss the best products to use for your time frame and pocket book. Some are very safe to use around people, pets, pollinators and beneficial insects. Proper application and timing of products is KEY when it comes to battle readiness. I'll discuss this in depth, plus you'll take home all the information you'll need for years to come and where to look for updates.

There is good news on the horizon about beneficial predator insects and biological controls that target adult beetles and larvae, I'll explain.

Low Denver Botanic Garden member fee of $26.00, non-member fee of $31.00
