Question:"Japanese beetles were discovered for the first time last year at my golf course in southern Wisconsin. How many beetle traps will I need to place around my course to prevent injury to turf and ornamental plantings?"
Source of Question:Wisconsin
Answer/Response:"Japanese beetles continue to spread slowly and steadily from east to west across Wisconsin and into Minnesota. Unfortunately, the feeding-lure/pheromone traps that are available in many lawn and garden stores do not provide an effective level of control for these pests on golf courses. In fact, a concentration of traps near the playing surfaces can have the unwanted result of attracting a damaging population of adult beetles from the neighboring area. However, a high population of adults found in a few well-placed traps on the course would indicate the need to sample fairways and roughs to monitor grub populations later in the season."
