Product Description

Effective Natural Biological Beetle  & Grub Control Target the Pest, Not the Rest

Labeled by EPA “For Organic Production” on fruits and vegetables.
Exempt from CT EPA Restrictions on K-8 and Municipal Parks!

beetleGONE!® is the first Btg (Bacillus thuringiensis galleriae) bio-insecticide to control adult beetles at a level of efficacy equivalent to chemical standards but without the side effects or off-target damage to beneficial insects, such as bees, butterflies and other pollinators. With beetleGONE!, entire landscapes can be economically, effectively and safely protected from destructive beetle pests such as Japanese,Asiatic, June and Oriental Beetles, and European, Cupreous, Southern and Northern Masked Chafers. Unlike other biological or chemical beetle control products that are only effective against smaller 1st-instar pests, beetleGONE! is an effective control of the larger, later 2nd- and 3rd-instar beetles, and can therefore be used as a curative treatment for beetle control as well as a preventative treatment.

beetleGONE! if effective against a wide host of scarab beetles, chafers, borers, weevils and Emerald Ash Bore and is safer for pollinators such as bees, people, plants, animals and the environment than other organic or chemical alternatives. Beetles will not develop resistance to this natural biological control.

Unlike many synthetic insecticides, the insecticidal proteins produced by Bt strains are very specific for certain insect species. For example, some only affect caterpillars while others affect beetles, but none of them affect mammals. The many proteins produced are named and categorized based on their primary amino acid sequence and the type of insects they affect. Because of the narrow spectrum of activity against target insects, they are considered environmentally safe for birds, mammals, natural insect enemies that help suppress pest populations.
