Japanese & Chafer Beetle Treatments

The Japanese Beetle is an invasive pest recently discovered in our city. Similar to the European Chafer beetle, the Japanese Beetle larvae live in and feed on the roots of grasses causing damage to lawns as animals dig in search of grubs. Adult Japanese beetles are heavy feeders and can cause significant damage to parks, lawns, golf courses, landscapes, and the agriculture industry. It can also impact the beauty and health of Vancouver’s ecosystem. If left untreated, the beetle poses a serious risk to plants and trees in Vancouver and neighbouring municipalities. It is important to contain the pest before it spreads.
