Japanese beetles may be small, but their impact on your lawn can be significant. These pests start their lives as grubs, wreaking havoc beneath the surface before emerging as beetles to continue their destruction. Let’s dive into the lifecycle of Japanese beetles and explore effective strategies to prevent grubs with the expert help of MissionGreen services.

The Lifecycle of Japanese Beetles: From Grubs to Beetles

1. Egg Stage: Japanese beetles lay their eggs in the soil during the summer months. Each female can lay 40-60 eggs over several weeks.
2. Grub Stage: Once the eggs hatch, they become grubs or larvae. These white, C-shaped grubs feed on grassroots, causing significant damage to your lawn. This stage lasts through the fall and spring.
3. Pupa Stage: In late spring, grubs transition into the pupa stage, undergoing metamorphosis to become adult beetles.
4. Adult Stage: By early summer, the adult beetles emerge, feeding on the foliage of your plants and starting the cycle anew.
