Pest management is an important and inevitable gardening task during spring and summer. Whether you host a greedy gang of slugs who seem hell-bent on decimating your lettuces, or perhaps the local caterpillar community has made it their mission to destroy your dahlias, pest infestation is a problem you cannot afford to ignore.
June bugs - or June beetles - are small red-brown beetles with a big appetite, feeding on lush new foliage and flowers, often at night. Sadly for gardeners, this can mean that under the cover of darkness, considerable plant feasting can take place.
