Where are June Bugs when it isn June?
June bugs,gotta hate ’em! I see your point. The June bug is actually called the June or May beetle. There is also one called Japanese beetle. I think it’s larger and black. Any way, I have a severe problem with them. But like previous answers, they don’t live very long as adults. But their larva commonly referred to as grubs, live about a year,underground, about 3-4″ deep. They, like you said, like to eat the root system of vegetation. The adults feed on the leaves and foilage of plants.They are especially harsh on shrubs. The best way to control them is to use something called Grub Kill. You can find this at Lowe’s. The best time to put it down is in early to mid-august. The eggs have just “bedded down for the winter”. This will help control the next years yield. As far as where they go? They just have a very short life span.
