Japanese Beetles Surge Again Along Colorado's Front Range

BROOMFIELD, Colo. - July 28, 2025 - PRLog -- As Japanese beetle populations intensify across Colorado's Front Range, OBEX Pest Defense is helping homeowners take action with science-backed solutions and an in-depth new resource covering what works - and what doesn't - in controlling both adult beetles and the destructive grubs beneath the soil.

Japanese beetles are now firmly established in cities from Wellington to Colorado Springs. Known for devouring roses, grapes, linden trees, and even turfgrass, these beetles continue to frustrate gardeners and lawn care professionals alike. But while hand-picking and traps offer short-term relief, OBEX's latest guidance explains how long-term control requires a smarter strategy tailored to Colorado's unique conditions.

The guide includes:

• Identification tips for adult beetles and grubs
• Timing strategies for grub control
• Comparisons between milky spore, nematodes, and professional solutions
• What DIY methods can help — and when to call for backup

With many Front Range cities past the point of eradication, the key now is consistent, regional control. OBEX Pest Defense continues to provide targeted, pollinator-conscious treatment options for homes and lawns across the area.
