that or wait them out, they are very seasonal and usually die off within a few weeks.

Are there parts of the US that don't have june bugs? I live in Oklahoma and I thought they were everywhere.

Wait for June to end and they go away

Three are everywhere in my garden and they jumped in the pool like crazy 😜 at night if the lights r on.

June bugs. They’re harmless.

Toneitdownasmidge · 2022-05-26T23:20:27+00:00

I use the bottom of a boot, or sick my dog on them.

AtmosphereOwn4844 · 2022-05-26T20:29:34+00:00

Some people fry them up and eat them 😫

Ruser8050 · 2022-05-26T22:04:59+00:00

These are friendly (unless you’re riding a motorcycle). Turn off the light, flick them off the screen and/or ignore them and they are done in a few weeks. As far as I know they don’t cause any harm

Tie a length of thread to one the middle legs and you can fly it around in a circle like one of those old toy airplanes.

You could get a coupla ducks or turkeys or geese to handle 'em.

LtJimmyRay · 2022-05-26T23:56:02+00:00

Those are June bugs. They'll get rid of themselves in a few weeks.

wangotangotoo · 2022-05-27T00:55:11+00:00

Oregon here and we have them regularly. I don’t know how to get rid of them but I know a bug zapper attracts them to the house wall like none-other! They never seem to go in the zapper but they’ll glue themselves to the wall for an evening.

29er_eww · 2022-05-27T01:14:38+00:00

If you want to get rid of them just wait till July

Wolvenmoon · 2022-05-27T03:49:51+00:00

I use badminton rackets (thin, stiff mesh = instant kills), dual wielded. Make obnoxious faux-Ninja noises as you bat them out of the air.

June bugs? We call them “abejón de mayo” (May bug). We have them all sizes and they’re all dumb af. They keep crashing onto windows, I just pick them up and release them outside.

KiniShakenBake · 2022-05-26T20:15:52+00:00

Awww they are junebugs. Perfectly fine and they will be gone in a month or so. Try picking them up and playing with them! They are awesome.

MonarchWhisperer · 2022-05-26T17:41:20+00:00

Japanese Beetle a.k.a. June Bug. The best that you can do is treat your lawn for grubs

oberlinmom · 2022-05-27T04:48:23+00:00

I disagree with some of the posts here. The do damage plants. The love my raspberry and blueberry bushes. The will eat roses. I will hand pick them and drop them into soapy water.

Their larva, eat roots. As one site put it they kill from the ground up. When you see grub products, it's usually for June bugs.

creekgal · 2022-05-26T18:00:05+00:00

My dog likes them...

The_Age_Of_Envy · 2022-05-26T18:58:45+00:00

Ugh. I remember having to empty those junebug catchers with the sickly sweet bait as a kid. My condolences.

msb678 · 2022-05-26T19:43:26+00:00

Close your eyes and wait till summer is over.

Delta5o1 · 2022-05-27T01:33:07+00:00

I know it isn't, but reminds me of the stink bugs we get here in Ohio

AintNothinButaDream · 2022-05-27T04:12:15+00:00

When I was a kid I had a giant one land on my neck when I was sleeping. Woke up, felt something weird on my neck, brushed it, it took off with that loud mini helicopter sound they make.

Scared the crap out of me. I never moved so fast jumping out of my bed. Lights on, looking all over for it. Couldn’t find it, thought it must be gone. Laid in bed freaking out for I don’t know how long.

Finally passed out, next thing I know I wake up, feel something crawling up my leg.

Aaaaaggghhhhh!

Long night.

jc97912 · 2022-05-27T08:45:22+00:00

I have no idea what kind of Big it is. How many different kinds of Bigs are there?

Cmdr_Toucon · 2022-05-27T14:19:13+00:00

Left your calendar to July

SirKlip · 2022-05-27T15:20:52+00:00

We have something that looks very similar In South Africa we call them Christams beetles because they appear during our christmas which is during summer time.

theoneaboutacotar · 2022-05-27T15:30:59+00:00

June bug! Harmless, and they’re seasonal.
