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.

Some people have even used strands of garlic hung around the garden to ward off any beetle presence.
