Japanese Beetles are mainly active for 2 months during the summer in Omaha. Most of the time these bugs are in the grub stage and only adults for a short period of time (Late-June to Mid-August).

From June to August we have to worry about adult beetles in our trees as they do major damage. The females attract other males to mate and often they come in swarms. After they devour your trees and plants, they lay their eggs in the soil for the process to start all over again.

The best time to have SunCo spray your trees and shrubs is during their feeding and mating stage from June-August.  Also a good preventative is to add grub control to your lawn care program.  However, since they are prolific, it is hard to control with this method unless everyone around you is doing the same. At SunCo, we have trained inspectors that can identify the beetle and treat your infested trees and shrubs.

Bagworm caterpillars make distinctive 1.5 to 2 inch long spindle-shaped bags that can be seen hanging from twigs of a variety of trees and shrubs. Sometimes the bags are mistaken for pine cones or other plant structures (clever worms). We also can treat Bagworms which infect evergreen trees and shrubs during the same months as the Japanese Beetle. Bagworms prefer juniper, arborvitae, spruce, pine, and cedar but also attack deciduous trees. If you see these worms in your pines, give us a call. We can treat and protect your pines.

We recommend natural aeration over this mechanical service. Lawn aeration involves making holes in the lawn by extracting finger-sized plugs of soil. The plugs of soil are left on the lawn and are reabsorbed into the turf. This process allows oxygen, nutrients and fertilizers to blend with the soil. The benefits include:

  • Increased absorption of water, oxygen and fertilizer into the soil
  • Reduction of thatch build-up
  • A thicker lawn and promotion of deeper root growth

During fall, the SunCo outdoor specialists can perform mechanical aeration along with overseeding. Overseeding is broadcasting seed over an already established lawn. This can help thicken turf reducing competition from weeds.

Protect your greens this winter

With winter on its way, it’s important to start thinking about your trees and shrubs. Evergreens and Conifers are especially at risk during the winter as water evaporates quickly from their foliage. These winter conditions remove water from the plants faster than the roots can absorb it.

A great line of protection for your trees and shrubs is an anti-desiccant spray. Anti-desiccants create a film when applied to the trees and shrubs that help them retain their moisture for months. Anti-desiccants are also biodegradable so it’s safe for the environment too. Give those greens some love this winter.
