June bugs are eating the leaves of our Oak Trees. We can see them at night. In the morning there are dead june bugs and our trees are dying.
What can we do IMMEDIATELY? |

| Wow. I have never heard or read of June bugs eating anything. You see them at night, but do you actually see them eating? Very strange. |

They do eat plants! I have seen them on one of my rose bushes eating the top edges of buds.

What I find interesting is that you see a bunch of dead ones everywhere... :? |

Citrus or orange oil products, or cedar oil products, are all great 100% certified organic pest controls for these stubborn pests.
Other 100% sustainable methods (but not necessarily accepted certified organic methods anymore) are using chewing tobacco tea sprays or pyrethum spray applications for pest management.
Happy Gardening! |
