June Bugs

Green June Beetles, also known as a Scarab Beetle, Fig Beetle, Green Fruit Beetle, or Peach Beetle, are very large and usually dark green in color with bronze colored outside margins on the wing covers.  These beetles can do some damage to the fruit on your trees.  They come out during the hot months to eat and breed, and unfortunately are attracted to sweet fruits such as figs, peaches, prickly pear and other fruits, sometimes ruining your crop.  They make their appearance anywhere from May to early July.   Many of our customers call asking how to protect their fruit from these beetles.  I’ve attached a link to an article from “The Spruce on How to Get Rid of June Bugs: 5 Easy Methods” , with some tips on how to deal with these pesty beetles.
