Does it really kill Japanese Beetles?

I checked the label and it says that it does kill Japanese Beetles ( adults ) I have not had any here but it has kept all bugs and things off my plants. I love it.

I have not seen it kill any beetles, nor seen any dead ones around it, so I'm not sure. It does make quite a noticeable zap noise. I think they all do depending on the size of the bug.

As far as I know, it kills any insect. It just stinks quite a bit because it contains Petroleum Distillates.

I only used this spray before the buds came out so I am not sure if it will kill the beetles. The best way I have found to get rid of them is to have all your neighbors use the Japanese Beetle traps in their yards as the traps seem to lure the beetles from everywhere.

I don't know if it would work on that or not. Plain bleach or ammonia usually keeps those types of insects away

Hi Elsa, I don't know if it kills black carpet beetles. i just know that it's a great insect killer.

Im not really sure but I do know that it will kill just about any pest you might come across...

I can say from experience that it does not kill honeybees. Im a backyard beekeeper and had to do a lot of research to find this stuff. Most pesticides/insecticides will harm all insects, but this seems to only kill leaf eating bugs. I used this in my borer infested garden and it worked! No more dead squash plants! It will also work well for tomato worms. I do spray this at dusk just to be on the safe side. (Honeybees return to their hive at sunset.)

Hi, I don't know. I only used it for silver fish and small beetles. To be honest, it doesn't really do a good job of killing bugs, but it does slow them down enough to catch them. I like this product because it is non-toxic. It's good enough.

Not sure, but it definitely kills any pest with legs that comes in contact.

Rosemary, I'm not sure about those specific bugs, but I was having issues with cockroaches and crickets. the bug spray from the store took care of the cockroaches, but not the crickets. I bought this stuff, and after the first spray the outside perimeter looked like a cricket and cockroach graveyard. I thought I was going to have to dig a trench for a mass burial in my front yard. From my experience with this product, I think it would be safe to assume it would knock out your beetle problem.

Yes, it kills all life cycles of invertebrates, including roaches. It may take up to two weeks for you to completely eliminate them as they are hardy but it will "get 'em."

I don't know, but considering it was horrible against other pests I would have to guess that it doesn't work at all.

Grant I used the trap last year and was SHOCKED at how many 1000's of beetles were captured. My garden is 500 sq ft. I think that the efficacy of the trap has more to do with where the scent of the lure travels. If the wind was blowing away from the garden it attracted beetles from outside the garden. I would expect that if you used two traps to cover the two most prevalent winds you would get good results. I doubt that anything will keep the attractive plants bug free but any dead Japanese beetle is a good one. I don't know if the plants were helped but I felt much better emptying the trap into a large can of soapy water. ...BTW they stink when you dump out the drowned ones. Have fun!

I've never used it against fire ants or any ants specifically, but it ought to do the trick. This is some awesome stuff. I've mostly used it against Japanese beetles and fleas. Very effectively, mind you.

You can treat your lawn with this product during any season of the year that your ground is not frozen and then water lightly after application to soak spores into the soil. (taken directly from the box label). I used the product last year, 2013, before June. This year I found no Japanese beetles, and less than 7 mole hills which I treated with a garlic product inserted into the tunnels. As of today, August 2nd 2014, I have found 2 mole hills. My yard is 100' x 60' approximately. So, for me, this product has worked well.

It will not only kill June bugs it will kill the box they came in. This is the best bug and worm killer I have ever used. To kill some bugs it takes a couple of hours but most just fall off and die before the water mixture has a chance to dry. I really don't know any bug it won't kill because I haven't found it yet. Cut worms were having a feast on my tomatoes and one spray and they were gone. Just let soak into the roil. I had beatles by the hundreds on my potatoes and I sprayed them and before I could get my stuff put up they were all on the ground and none haven't come back. Great stuff.
