I have a Berry farm and the june bugs have eaten 1/2 of the crop. Anyone that can help me with some sort of natural control or what might work for them. I have 2000 plants in the ground and trying to catch the June bugs and distroy them is just not possible. I am in NC and the NC agriculture said to use Spectricide from mid to late August and after that time the spectricide would not work.

Would a flock of guinea hens do the trick? I've heard of nurseries using them to control insects in their propagating fields.
