[QUOTE="Star*, post: 152234, member: 4964"] Wynter, June bugs or genus Phyllophaga are scarab-type beatles. Their life cycle is complete in 1 year. If you want fewer June bugs - in August-September treat your lawn for white grubs. You can usually treat with Sevin (no rain, pets, kids) for 2 weeks. I understand the barf-factor in this one. They are loud, obnoxious and even in the bug world I don't know many people who jump up and say OH I LIKE THEM. Mostly because if you want a nice lawn, beautiful trees - they are NOT helpful. Another thing about June bugs is moles. If you have scads of June bugs it attracts moles, and voles. People rush out to buy stuff to kill the moles and don't realize without killing the grubs - you aren't going to take care of the total problem. (puts Raid in a basket because I don't know of any organic cure other than keeping your lawn healthy, aerated, watered, and organically treated to prevent grubs which will in turn prevent beatles) but then again - that's only on YOUR yard. Unless the entire neighborhood treated and kept their lawns pristeen - you're going to be indoors for a while. [/QUOTE]
