AgBio Oriental Beetle
Trap
Remove Beetles
Before Crop Damage Occurs
The Oriental Beetle (Exomala
orientalis) is an Economic Pest of Nursery Stock,
Turfgrass, Container Ornamentals, Blueberries, Cranberries,
Raspberries, Strawberries, Peaches, and others. The AgBio
Oriental Beetle Trap was developed to reduce populations,
through the use of our exclusive lures in combination with
a Unitrap or Japanese Beetle Trap. This creates a simple,
easy to use solution for the control and removal of these
beetles, as the traps can simply be disposed of when
saturated.
An Issue of
Growing Economic Importance
The Oriental Beetle has established itself as the dominant
grub in many regions of the United States. Larvae can cause
complete destruction of the root system and death of the
plant, transport of infested plants can result in rejected
shipments.

Geographic Distribution
The Oriental Beetle has been reported in New England, the
Middle Atlantic States, Ohio, Virginia, North and South
Carolina, Tenessee, West Virginia, and Hawaii. In Rutgers
University survey locations (New York, New Jersey, and
southern New England), the Oriental Beetle has become the
dominant species in many turf locations, easily
predominating over populations of Japanese beetles. In some
studies, Oriental Beetles have accounted for over 90% of
the grubs collected from blueberry fields.
