#Use nematodes to kill larvae. Nematodes are parasitic insect-eating round worms that feed on the grubs in the ground, providing an organic pest control method. Common nematode types include Steinernema Feltiae and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora.<ref>https://ift.tt/3a9HBZY> Place nematodes in the soil in late August or early September to begin treating the grubs for the next year.<ref>https://ift.tt/3c6unzb> But you can apply nematodes as soon as there is evidence of Japanese beetle activity in your yard.<ref>http://www.nematodes.com/</ref>[[Image:Kill Japanese Beetles Step 1 Version 3.jpg|center]]
