*** It is time to set up blacklight traps for monitoring masked chafer beetle flights.  Surveying adult flights will enable more precise timing of any soil-applied insecticide, if needed, for white grubs as they hatch and emerge under turfgrasses. Information about trapping and where to find backlight traps can be found at:
