How To Get Rid Of Beetle Bugs

One can take measures to get rid of these pests without having to hire an exterminator by visiting a local garden center or even Wal-Mart. There are special insecticides that will kill beetles, and also beetle traps. The traps are specially designed boxes with pheromones inside that lure the bugs in, then once inside they cannot come out. If using a trap it is wise to check it regularly since too many decaying beetles will quickly cause quite a stench. Some people have even used strands of garlic hung around the garden to ward off any beetle presence.

If one is eco-minded or not too keen on the idea of killing the beetles hand collecting and removing or relocating the insects has been proven an effective method to reduce their numbers. It is slow and time consuming but works and leaves the conscience clear.
